About Course Descriptions

Course Number
The following course numbering system is currently in effect:

• 100-199 designed primarily for, but not limited to, first-year students
  
• 200-299 designed primarily for, but not limited to, second-year students
  
  

Course Frequency
Course Frequency indicates the projected schedule on which the course will be offered:

• f = fall semester
  
• s = spring semester
  
• fs = both semesters
  
• xf = alternate years in fall semester
  
• xs = alternate years in spring semester
  
• y = occasionally
  
  

The course frequency projections are subject to change.

Prerequisites
Following each course listing is a course description. The first item in the course description is the prerequisite for those courses which have prerequisites. Prerequisites are listed to inform the student what she must complete in advance to ensure success in the course. Consent of Instructor [listed in the appropriate class schedule] may be substituted for the prerequisite.

Corequisites
The second item in the course description is the corequisite for those courses which have corequisites. Corequisites are listed to inform the student in which courses she must also enroll during the same semester. Course descriptions may also contain instructions or limitations and should be reviewed carefully.

Credit Hours
The last item in the course description is the number of credit hours. The unit of credit is the credit hour. Lecture courses meet one hour per week for 15 weeks for one credit hour. Laboratory and studio courses meet a minimum of two hours per week for 15 weeks for one credit hour. Courses which include lecture and laboratory or studio carry credit combining the above guidelines.

The course listings are based upon reasonable projections of faculty and faculty availability and appropriate curriculum considerations. The College reserves the right at any time to modify or terminate program requirements, content and the sequence of program offerings for educational, financial or other reasons.
