Course Descriptions (Undergraduate and Graduate)
Listing by College and Academic Units
This section is arranged alphabetically by subject designator
and sequentially by course number. Numbers following a descriptive
title of each course indicate the number of weekly class hours, the
number of weekly laboratory or practicum hours, and the credit hour
value of the course expressed in semester hours. For example,
(2-2-3) following the course title means two class
hours, two laboratory or practicum hours and three semester hours
of credit. Parentheses enclosing the third figure,
(3- 0-(3)), indicate that, although the course
has a semester hour value equal to that number for enrollment
purposes, the course does not produce credit toward baccalaureate
or associate degrees. Parentheses enclosing a range of figures
indicate that the hours are variable within the range given. For
example, ({1-3}-0-{1-3}) indicates one, two or
three lecture class hours, no laboratory hours and one, two or
three credit hours.
Courses numbered 6000 and above are open only to graduate students. Courses with 5000 numbers are open to both graduate and advance-standing undergraduate students. In these courses, however, graduate students must do more extensive reading, prepare additional reports, and produce papers or other projects requiring more intensive research.
