Guide to Course Descriptions

Courses numbered 100 are planned primarily for freshmen, 200 for sophomores, 400 for juniors and 500 for seniors. Courses numbered 300 are open to sophomores who have appropriate preparation but otherwise are limited to juniors and seniors. Courses numbered 600 and above are limited to graduate students.

Freshmen ordinarily will register only for courses numbered 100. However, if previous preparation shows them to be ready for more advanced work, they may be permitted to enter courses at the 200 level.

The number of hours listed opposite the title of each course refers to the amount of credit granted each semester for the successful completion of the course. In general, each hour of credit implies one hour of classroom work per week throughout the semester. The College reserves the right to cancel or postpone any course for which the enrollment is insufficient.

Unless otherwise noted, courses are offered at least once each academic year. For courses offered in alternate years, both the semester and the year in which the semester falls are indicated.
