Graduate Catalog 1996-1997
Interpretation of the Course Descriptions
Interpretation of course numbers:
001-099 Below baccalaureate degree.
100-199 Introductory-level courses.
200-299 Introductory and intermediate courses, usually requiring some
previous knowledge or experience in the discipline.
300-399 Courses with a more concentrated focus on the subject matter in a
particular discipline.
400-499 Advanced courses for majors and other qualified students.
500-599 Graduate-level courses for the nonspecialist.
600-699 Graduate-level courses, also open to advanced undergraduates.
800-899 Graduate-level courses.
900-999 Ph.D.-level courses.
X66 Special problems and independent study.
X67 Experimental course (may be offered twice).
Courses numbered 500 to 599 may not be taken for graduate credit
in a student's major. With the approval of the graduate student's
major department, 500-level courses taken outside the student's major
may be counted toward graduate degree requirements.
Courses numbered 600 to 699 are graduate-level courses also open
to qualified advanced undergraduates with the consent of the
instructor. There should be a single standard of expectation and
grading for all students registered at this level.
In those few cases where the number of either undergraduate
students or graduate students does not permit adequate offerings of
both a 400-level and a 600-level course, a graduate 600-level course
may be combined with a separately numbered 400-level undergraduate
course in the same section. The graduate component must then be
offered with a graduate standard of expectation and grading.
The appropriateness of 600-numbered courses for undergraduate credit is
subject to review by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
