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 code for SCILS is 04. 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 comprises the third through fifth digits in all course
numbers and 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).
189 Communication and Media Studies
192 Communication
547 Information Technology and Informatics
567 Journalism and Media Studies
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: 04:189: 493,494). Two course codes separated by a hyphen
indicate that satisfactory completion of the first term is a
prerequisite to the second term; 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.
