Courses
The faculty has approval to offer the following courses in the academic years 1998-1999 and 1999-2000; however, not all courses are taught each semester or summer session. Students should consult the
Course Schedule to determine which courses and topics will be offered during a particular semester or summer
session. The Course Schedule may also reflect changes that have been made to the courses listed here since
this catalog was printed.
A full explanation of course numbers is given in
General Information. In brief, the first digit of a course number indicates the semester hour value of the course. The second and third digits indicate the rank of the course: if they are 01 through 19, the course is of lower-division rank; if 20 through 79, of upper-division rank; if 80 through 99, of graduate rank.
