2005-2006 CATALOG


Courses of Instruction

Courses offered during the academic year covered by this catalog will be selected from those described on the following pages. The course number is shown to the left of the title. The significance of the four digit numbering system is:

First digit

0 indicates that the course does not carry degree credit
1 courses of freshman level or beginning courses
2 sophomore level, not open to freshmen
3 ‑junior-senior level courses, not open to freshmen or, generally, to sophomores
4 ‑junior-senior level courses which may be taken for graduate credit under certain circumstances, not open to freshmen or sophomores
6 ‑graduate courses, open to students registered in the Graduate School only.
  Departmental Permission is also required in each case.

Second digit

  Many areas use the second digit to designate sub-areas within their areas. Otherwise the second digit has no significance.

Third digit

  The third digit has no specific meaning except when it is the figure nine. A nine as the third digit means that the course content varies from semester to semester.

Fourth digit

  The fourth digit has no specific significance unless it is the figure nine. A nine as the fourth digit indicates that the course is conducted on an honors level.
  A student with less than 60 semester hours credit may not register for courses numbered 3000 or above. In addition to regular course requirements, graduate students who enroll in 4000-level graduate credit courses will be expected to complete other work assigned by the instructor. Courses numbered 6000 or above are open to graduate students only and require permission of the department offering the course before a student may enroll.
  Shown on the same line with the title is the designation of the credit hours which the course carries. The credit hour value is generally based on the number of class hours per week. One hour of classroom work per week is usually valued at one credit hour. Some departments give one credit hour for two hours of laboratory work per week while some require three or more hours of laboratory work for one credit hour.
  Normally, if the course consists solely of lecture, or lecture-discussion type meetings, the number of meetings per week will be the same as the credit hours given for the course and no statement is made as to the type or number of meetings per week. In other situations the type and number of meetings is usually stated.
