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
966 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.
