Courses are identified by numbers ranging from 100 to 999. As a general rule, introductory level courses are numbered 100 to 199, intermediate level courses are numbered 200 to 299, and advanced undergraduate courses and seminars, or similar credit generating activities, are numbered 300 to 499. Individualized Degree Program (IDP) study units and projects are numbered 600 to 699. Graduate courses are numbered 800 to 999.
Independent study courses (sometimes called tutorials) are available by special arrangement. Permission of the instructor and the department chair is required. First- year students are generally ineligible to enroll in independent studies, but during their second semester they may petition the Curriculum Committee for permission to take independent study (except internships) for cause.
Most courses meet throughout the semester, and earn 1 or 1.25 course credits. For each credit hour awarded, students are expected to complete no fewer than three hours of combined instructional or studio/lab time and out-of-class work per week. A lecture course meets three hours a week for a semester and earns 1 course credit (the equivalent of four semester hours); a laboratory course meets three hours a week for lecture plus three hours a week for laboratory, and earns 1.25 course credits (the equivalent of five semester hours). Courses that meet for irregular lengths of time or earn either more or less than 1 course credit are so designated in the course description. Physical education courses meet for one-half semester and earn one-quarter course credit.
Courses that meet throughout the year and require completion of the entire course in order to earn credit for any part of the course, are hyphenated, e.g., history 498-99.
