Undergraduate Course Descriptions

The number that follows the title of the course is the number of credit hours students earn upon completion of the course.

  • The first digit within the parentheses following the number of credit hours indicates the number of lecture/class hours per week.
  • The second digit indicates the number of laboratory hours per week.
  • The third digit is the number of clinical/practicum credit hours per week.

Example: COURSE 101 5 Hours (3 - 1 - 1)

Special Topics courses may be offered by programs to provide additional breadth and enrichment. When offered, these courses will be listed on the semester schedule under the prefix of the appropriate department and will carry a course number of 199 – 499 depending upon course level.

Course prerequisites must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. Course co-requisites may be completed prior to taking the course or be enrolled simultaneously with the course. Transferable course equivalents and other course substitutions may be allowed by the program directors. In special circumstances course instructors or program directors may allow students to enroll in courses without meeting prerequisites.
