Course Listings: An Explanation

Courses in this catalog are listed first by the discipline code, three letters that indicate the academic discipline (HST for history, for example), followed by three digits. The first of these digits refers to the level of the course; the next two indicate the specific course. Thus ENL 165 is an English course designed for the lower-division student, and the 65 indicates the specific course offering, which is International Short Story. These numbers are followed by the actual course title, and this in turn is followed by letters within parentheses that tell whether the course is liberal arts (A) or professional (B) in nature, and whether it may be used to fulfill one or more of the General Education requirements. A legend for the letters and numbers used in course listings is given below. An example of a course listing follows:
