Course Descriptions

The semester hours which may be earned by successful completion of a course are indicated in parentheses immediately following the course title, e.g., (3) for three credit hours.

A course is offered during the semester indicated by the term‑offering designation immediately following the credit hours earned:

• I—Fall Semester
• II—Spring Semester
• A—By Announcement

A course is offered during the indicated semester or by announcement on the assumption there will be adequate enrollment. If a course does not obtain adequate enrollment, it is subject to cancellation. The University reserves the right to cancel any course if the enrollment is not sufficient, to divide a course if the enrollment is too large for efficient instruction, and to change instructors when necessary.

The description of the course format for courses which include a laboratory experience is found at the end of the course description. A course which consists of three hours of classroom lecture and two hours of laboratory per week is described as “3 Lec/2 Lab.” These hours do not indicate credit hours earned, only weekly contact hours.

Courses approved for General Education are noted by square brackets "[ ]" at the end of the course description. For example: ENG 101 fills General Education Element 1A, Written Communication I. As such, ENG 101 has [Gen. Ed. Written Communication I] at the end of its course description. See General Education Requirements in the Catalog by navigating to Undergraduate > General Academic Information > General Education Requirements.
