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 schools
section.
Course Numbering System
| 100-200 |
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. |
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.
Special Numbering The numbers 90-99 in
each hundred series from 100-900 (e.g., 291, 493, 897) are designated for special
usage as follows:
- _90 Honors Courses
- _91 Capstone Courses
- _92 Capstone Courses
- _93 Independent Study
- _94 Independent Study
- _95 Supervised or Independent Research
- _96 Supervised or Independent Research
- _97 Thesis/Dissertation/Non-Topical
Research
- _98 Thesis/Dissertation/Non-Topical Research
- _99 Thesis/Dissertation/Non-Topical
Research
Independent Study and Supervised Research courses for undergraduates
are topical in nature and generally not repeated; accordingly, they do not
receive
a continuing
Record entry. Enrollment is by permission of the instructor. Because the
content of such courses changes each offering, students may retake these
courses or
higher numbered ones in a sequence.
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, as
well as from their own school of enrollment.
Please note that not all courses listed in the Record are
taught each semester.

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 |

|
Y |
offered at least once every academic year (fall or spring
semester) |
|
E |

(e.g., 2006-2007) |
|
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 |
| J |
offered during January 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
