Courses

A course unit is a unit of work occupying approximately one-fourth of a student's time over a 15-week term. A few courses carry fractional values, in which case the course numbers are followed by .1 or .2, indicating quarter or half courses. For example, Music 103.1 (Piano Class) is a quarter-unit course.

Frequency and duration of class meetings are determined by the nature and level of a course and the manner in which its subject matter may best be learned.

Courses are numbered as follows:
100-109	Reserved for courses that are not applicable to the major and that typically are taken in the first or sophomore year.
110-199	Introductory courses, normally open to all students without prerequisites, applicable to the major and typically taken in the first or sophomore year.
200-209	Reserved for courses not applicable to the major, and which typically are taken in the sophomore or junior year.
210-299	Intermediate courses, normally open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, with prerequisites as designated in the course descriptions.
300-309	Reserved for courses not applicable to the major, and which typically are taken in the junior or senior year.
310-399	Advanced courses, open to students majoring in the area and to other students with sufficient preparation in the field.
400-401	Honors.

A hyphen between two consecutive course numbers indicates a double course of one-year duration, the second term of which may not be taken without the first, e.g., Physics 111-112.

In the course descriptions that follow, those courses approved for LinC requirements at the time this catalog was compiled are marked (F2, M3, etc.) to indicate the requirement they fulfill.

The course descriptions provided here are based upon reasonable projections of faculty and facility availability. Course offerings are subject to change based on changes in circumstances upon which these projections were based and as deemed necessary by the College to fulfill its role and mission.
