Non-Degree Courses
Courses numbered (DESIGNATOR) 589 - Professional Development
(1-6) do not apply to degree requirements. These courses
cover selected issues designed for professional development,
in-service training to meet specific staff development needs
in education, business/industry, allied health, technology,
and other professional settings. They are not applicable to
degree requirements.
Cross-Listed Courses
Cross-listed courses are those courses identified in the
course listing as “identical to” another course. Credit
may not be earned in more than one of these courses.
Credit and Attendance Hours
The number of semester hours of credit in each course is
indicated by the first number following the title of the
course. Within the parentheses, the first number indicates
the number of hours of lecture per week; the second number,
the hours of laboratory per week. EXAMPLE: 4(3-2) means four
hours of credit, three hours of lecture, two hours of
laboratory.
Prerequisites
In general, only immediate prerequisites for courses are
listed. Some courses listed as prerequisites may have their
own prerequisites. You may need to plan more than one
semester in advance when deciding which semester to take a
particular course.
Students seeking to substitute prerequisite courses with
equivalents or permission of instructor may do so only with
departmental approval. Such substitutions are not automatic.
Variable Credit Courses
Variable credit courses are indicated by a semester-hour
designation such as 1-3(Spec). (Spec) means there are
special arrangements regarding the number of hours spent in
class. Maximum hours which a student may earn in a variable
credit course to apply toward graduation are the highest
number in the semester-hour designation for the course
(i.e., three hours maximum in example listed above).
Other Designation
