How to read the Courses Catalog

In the Course Catalog, courses are listed in alphabetical order by departments and then alphabetically by subject. For instance, the Department of English lists its courses under three separate subjects: Business and Technical Writing, English, and Rhetoric and Composition. Courses are listed in numerical order within the individual subject. The course number denotes the level of the course.

000-099

are intended primarily as noncredit, preparatory courses. Credit earned in these courses will not count towards a degree.

100-399

are intended primarily for freshmen, sophomores and juniors, although they may also be taken by seniors. In certain instances they may be taken by graduate students to make up undergraduate deficiencies, but they may not be taken for graduate credit.

400-499

are intended primarily for seniors but may also be available for professional and graduate students who satisfy published prerequisite(s), if any. Only graduate students and certain seniors with Graduate College approval may receive graduate credit.

500-599

are available for graduate students, and for certain seniors with Graduate College approval to register for graduate credit.

600-699

are available for students in professional programs (DVM and JD) and, when indicated, for graduate students or for certain seniors with Graduate College approval.

The course description includes course content, the requirements for admission to the course (if any), and the credit given. For additional information, contact the department offering the course.

Prerequisites indicate special requirements should be met for admission to the course. Sometimes a particular class standing (e.g., junior standing ) is required. An undergraduate must have 30 hours of credit to be classified as a sophomore, a minimum of 60 hours to be classified as a junior, and a minimum of 90 hours to be classified as a senior. A graduate student is a person who has been admitted to the Graduate College. A professional student is a person who has been admitted to the DVM or JD programs.
