Explanation of Notation
The sample course description below indicates the notational system employed in the following pages. The connotations of the numbered elements are as follows:
1. Academic discipline: Course descriptions are arranged alphabetically by discipline. The four-character abbreviation is the computer code used for course registration and all academic records.
2. Course number and title appear in bold type.
3. Crosslisting: In case of courses which are offered in an identical form by two or more colleges or departments, all other listings by which they may be identified appear in brackets between the course title and statement of hour credit. An equal sign (=) indicates such equivalencies.
4. Credit hours: Bold numeral in parentheses indicates the number of semester credit hours awarded for successful completion of a course. In the case of course sequences where two or more related courses are included in the same entry, a statement such as (3 each) indicates that all courses in the sequence carry the same credit. If the courses do not all carry the same credit, the credits awarded for each course are individually itemized. Variable credit, indicated by an entry such as (3–6) or (up to 15), is employed in the case of courses whose content and credit are to be individually determined.
5. Prerequisites: Any necessary prerequisites or corequisites, indicated by abbreviations "prereq" and "coreq," are given in parentheses after the statement of hour credit.
