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 Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy administrative code is 30 through
the first four years of the Pharm.D. program. A code of 31 is used in
the last two years of the doctoral program. 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 list does
not constitute a list of majors.)
158 Chemical Biology
715 Pharmaceutical Chemistry
718 Pharmacology and Toxicology
720 Pharmacy
721 Pharmaceutics
725 Pharmacy Practice and Administration
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 899 are
graduate courses and are described in the catalog of the Graduate
School-New Brunswick and on the course pages linked above.
Two course codes separated by a comma indicate that each semester may be
taken independently of the other (example: 30:720:391,392). Two course
codes separated by a hyphen indicate that satisfactory completion of
the first semester is a prerequisite to the second semester (example:
30:725:202-203); the first semester may be taken for credit without
taking the second, except where a statement is added to indicate that
both semester 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.
Unless otherwise
indicated, a course normally meets weekly for a number of lecture hours equal
to the number of credits to be earned. Special hours or modes of class,
other than lecture, are usually indicated in italics below the course
title.
