Course Descriptions

In the following pages, courses are designated by two numbers, separated by a colon. The first number refers to the department or area of the course; the second number refers to the specific course. For example, in the course designated 600:111 the "600" refers to the Department of Art and the "111" refers to the course. In registration always use the full number.

Courses 0-99 are primarily designed for freshman and sophomore students.

Courses 100-199 are primarily designed for junior, senior, and graduate students. However, only those 100-level courses whose numbers are followed by a "g" provide graduate credit, e.g., 400:173(g). In all courses of the 100(g) series, greater academic achievement, both qualitative and quantitative, is expected of those receiving graduate credit than those receiving undergraduate credit. Freshmen and sophomores may not register for 100(g)-level courses. Only in very special cases may an exception be granted by the appropriate department head.

Courses 200-299 are primarily designed for graduate students. Undergraduates seeking admission to graduate courses must secure the permission of the head of the department offering the course. Courses numbered 200 taken as an undergraduate cannot later be used for an advanced degree unless the student was eligible to earn graduate credit.

Courses 300-399 are primarily designed for doctoral students.

Students are classified as follows: Earned Semester Hours

Freshman less than 30
Sophomore 30-59
Junior 60-89
Senior 90 and over
Graduate classification is earned by admission to graduate study.
