The number preceding each course title is divided into three parts. The first two digits are the administrative code (standing for a faculty or a school), the next three digits are the subject code, and the final three digits are the course code.
Administrative Codes
The undergraduate code for the Mason Gross School of the Arts is 07. For a complete list of administrative codes used in this catalog, see the beginning of the Programs of Study for Liberal Arts Students section.
Subject Codes
A subject code indicates the subject matter of the course. Courses with the following subject codes are listed in this chapter. (This does not constitute a list of majors.)
080 Art, Critical Studies
081 Art, Studio
203 Dance
206 Dance
700 Music
701 Music, Applied
965 Theater Arts

Course Codes
The course code comprises the sixth, seventh, and eighth digits in all course numbers. Course codes from 100 to 299 indicate introductory and intermediate undergraduate courses. Codes from 300 to 499 indicate advanced undergraduate courses. (Courses coded from 500 to 799 are graduate courses.)
Two course codes separated by a comma indicate that each term may be taken independently of the other (example: 07:700: 203,204). Two course codes separated by a hyphen indicate that satisfactory completion of the first term is a prerequisite to the second term (example: 07:206:138-139); the first term may be taken for credit without taking the second, except where a statement is added to indicate that both term courses must be completed in order to receive credit.
Credits awarded for the successful completion of each course are indicated in parentheses following the course title. The notation BA indicates that the number of credits is determined by arrangement with the department offering the course.
