Helpful Hint for Searching: Use the “Type” drop down box if you are unfamiliar with the College prefixes.
Lecture/Lab Hours Disclaimer: Weekly lecture/lab combinations listed are reflective of 16-week course schedules (e.g. traditional fall and spring semesters). Condensed schedules (e.g. mini, summer, 8 week, and 12 week semesters) will have higher weekly lecture/lab combinations due to the shortened length of instruction.
Prerequisite: a course you must successfully complete prior to enrolling in the course for which it is listed as a prerequisite. You must receive a grade of C (2.0) or better in order for the course to satisfy a prerequisite requirement, unless otherwise specified in the course description.
Corequisite: a course you may enroll in simultaneously as the course for which it is listed as a corequisite. Co-enrolled: a course you must enroll in while simultaneously enrolled in another designated course.
NOTE: Weekly lecture/lab/external hours denoted in all course descriptions reference a standard sixteen (16) week fall or spring semester. For non-standard semesters/sessions (e.g. summer semesters, winter/spring mini-mesters, 12-week sessions, etc.), the lecture/lab/external material will be covered over a shorter period of time, resulting in more hours each week. Total contact hours will remain the same for each course regardless of the semester/session type or the teaching modality (e.g. internet, blended, face-to-face, etc.). Detailed weekly hour combinations are available in the specific course syllabus.
Courses included in the Core Curriculum are noted as a Core Curriculum Course after the course title.
Note: The second digit of a course rubric identifies the number of credit hours a student will earn upon completing the course. For example: ENGL 1301 is a 3 credit hour course, as denoted by the 2nd digit.
