Courses for Undergraduate and Graduate Credit

Courses offered during the academic year covered by this catalog will be selected principally from those described on the following pages, but the University reserves the right to make revisions in these offerings. Shown on the same line with the title is the amount of credit given for satisfactory completion of the course. The amount of credit is based on the number of lectures or recitations each week for one semester; for example, one credit represents one hour of lecture or recitation a week for one semester. Two hours (in certain courses, three hours) of laboratory work are considered the equivalent of one lecture or recitation hour. The course description specifies whether the course is lecture, laboratory, recitation, seminar research, independent studies, or some combination of these and also whether there are prerequisites. The course number is shown to the left of the title. The following explains the numbering system:
 
Course Number
Description
000-099 Preparatory courses for no degree credit
100-199 Freshman level courses
200-299 Sophomore level courses
300-399 Junior and Senior level courses
400-499 Junior and Senior level courses
500-599 Graduate level courses intended to be preparatory for MBA program. These do not fulfill degree requirements.
600-699 Graduate level courses which correspond to senior (400) level undergraduate courses. 
700-799 Graduate level only 
 

Specified courses which fulfill the Subject Distribution requirements as listed under "General Education" elsewhere in this Catalog are marked by an asterisk(*).

For information on additional courses which may fulfill the Subject Distribution requirements, the students should contact their Dean.

Graduate credit courses at the 600 and 700 level in the College of Business are not available to undergraduates. At least 50% of the courses applicable toward a graduate degree must be numbered 700 or above.

Except for courses which are designated as "repeat for credit," a course may be counted only once in the total hours for a degree.
