Course Descriptions

When you’re trying to decide which courses to register for or which degree or certificate program is right for you, it’s important to read the course descriptions in your subject areas of interest.

Once you click on a subject area, you’ll be taken to a complete list of courses offered and their descriptions. The numbers shown after the course names generally mean the following.

  • Course numbers 001-099—Developmental courses that may be recommended by your advisor or required if you didn’t receive a high enough score on a placement test.
  • Course numbers 100-199—Introductory courses that are usually taken in your first year.
  • Course numbers 200-299—Intermediate courses that often build upon a previous course and may have pre-requisites (requirements that you complete other courses first).

Before registering for courses through Webadvisor, make sure that you have met the pre-requisites and that the courses you want to select will be the best choices to apply toward your degree or certificate. When in doubt, check with your advisor.
