The subject code for some graduate nursing courses is NURS, while courses in the specialty tracks will have course codes indicating the specialty.
Course Codes
The
last three digits distinguish one course from another and also indicate
the educational level of the course. Course codes from 100 to 299 are
used for introductory and intermediate courses; 300 to 499 are used for
advanced undergraduate courses, some of which may be taken by graduate
students toward an advanced degree. Graduate courses carrying codes
from 500 to 799 are described in the graduate catalogs of the
university. Graduate courses offered by the School of Nursing carry codes 5000-7990.
Two course codes separated by a comma indicate
that each semester course may be taken independently of the other. Two
course codes separated by a hyphen (25:705:494-495) indicate
that satisfactory completion of the first semester course is a
prerequisite for the second semester; the first semester may be taken
for credit without the second, except if 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 program offering the course.
