Courses listed in this catalog have been approved by the faculties
of the schools in which the courses are taught. Only courses which have been
approved by the faculty are eligible for academic credit. The following information
introduces the components of the course descriptions listed in each school’s
section.
Course Numbering System
100-299 Lower level undergraduate: introductory and survey
courses.
300-499 Upper level undergraduate: advanced courses that may
have prerequisites or require instructor permission.
500-599 Introductory graduate level: courses for beginning
graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
600-699 Professional level: courses generally reserved for
the schools of Medicine and Law; exceptions exist for other professional offerings,
particularly in the field of teacher education.
700-899 Graduate level: courses appropriate for masters and
beginning doctoral degree programs.
900-999 Graduate level: courses reserved for offerings
in doctoral programs, such as readings, research, independent study, and dissertations.
Descriptions of courses numbered 600 and above are listed in
the Graduate Record. Undergraduates wishing to take courses numbered
600 or above must obtain permission from the dean of the school in which they
want to take the course. College students seeking to enroll in such courses
must first obtain permission from their Association Deans; permission will be
dependent upon both the unavailability of appropriately numbered lower-level
courses and the written rationale of the faculty member for the inclusion of
the student in courses reserved for Master’s and Doctoral students.
Please note that not all courses listed in the Record
are taught each semester.
Where possible, odd numbers signify fall semester courses and
even numbers signify spring semester courses. The determination of course level
is the responsibility of the offering department and/or school. The academic
policy committee of each school is expected to assume the necessary monitoring
function.

Guide to reading course descriptions
Example:
BIOL 301 - (3) (Y)
Cell Physiology
Prerequisites: BIOL 201, 202
Studies cell structure and function, metabolism,
membranes and transport, and cellular specializations.
Explanation of example:
BIOL 301 — course mnemonic (see glossary) and
number. Variations include GREE 101-102 where two semesters of a course
must be completed to obtain credit toward a degree, or ENWR 103, 104 where
credit
may be obtained by taking either semester or both.
(3) — number of credits that will be earned
upon successful completion of the course. Where courses are dually numbered
(101-102 or 103, 104), the number of credits represents the number of credits
for each section of the courses, e.g., three credits for 101 and three credits
for 102.
(Y) — code for frequency with
which the course is offered. Variations are:
|
S
|
offered fall and spring semesters
|
|
Y
|
offered at least once every academic year (fall or spring
semester)
|
|
E
|
offered when the fall semester occurs in an even year
(e.g., 2004-2005)
|
|
O
|
offered when the fall semester occurs in an odd year
(e.g., 2005-2006)
|
|
SI
|
offered upon sufficient student interest
|
|
IR
|
offered irregularly
|
|
SS
|
offered during summer session
|
Cell Physiology — course title
Prerequisites: BIOL 201,
202. — Prerequisites are
courses or conditions that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment
in the course described. Prerequisites separated by a comma indicate a series
of prerequisites, all of which are required. Variations include BIOL 101
or 201 where either course, but not both, must be taken prior to enrollment
in the described course. An exception occurs when or precedes the
last entry in a series, in which case the commas indicate or throughout
(e.g., BIOL 101, 201 or equivalent). Corequisite means that
concurrent enrollment in the course or courses designated and the course
or courses described
is required.
A study of cell structure and function, metabolism,
membranes and transport, and cellular specializations. — Course
