Course Alpha and Numerical Designation

Programs and course descriptions lists the requirements and courses for the degree programs in alphabetical order by the alpha designation for the courses in the discipline, from ACC for Accounting to WGS for Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. The alpha designation of core or major requirements is followed by the course number (001-499), assigned by the Registrar.

Topics courses, independent study, and individual internships are designated at the 500 level with the alpha designation for the course discipline. Courses at the 500 level, by their very nature, may not have a registered description and may not be listed under courses for the disciplines. Topics courses may be taught for a maximum of three semesters and may not be used to fulfill requirements. The numerical designations for topics courses are: 500-590 (1-4 credits); independent study courses, 591-594 (1-4 credits); internships, 595-598 (1-4 credits).
