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 undergraduate programs 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 semester 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 semester is a
prerequisite to the second semester; 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.
