Purser 2UNDERGRADUATE ISSUE How to Find Information Related to Academic Programs and Courses This catalog includes directional tools customarily included in such publica- tions. The Table of Contents (see page 3), the Glossary (see page 8), the Index to Course Listings (see page 485), the general Index (see page 486), and the Index of Abbreviations (inside back cover) are all essential tools for anyone using the catalog. By turning to these sections, readers can fi nd information related to the structure, policies, and procedures that govern the University’s operations as well as information about programs the University offers. This section supplements those listed above by providing directions in fi nding and interpreting information related to academic programs, academic departments, and courses. Colleges Chapter X, Academic Programs and Units of Instruction, organizes infor- mation on programs within each of the three major academic divisions of the University: The College of Arts and Sciences, the Richards College of Business, and the College of Education. Information relevant to each college, the dean, the web address, general information, and specifi c requirements and options for the college, are included in an introductory section. Departments All academic departments are listed in the general Index that begins on page 480. Information about each academic department is arranged alphabetically for each college. This information includes, in order, the department Web address, the department faculty, descriptions of programs and program requirements, including majors, minors, and special tracks, and, fi nally, a list of courses offered by the department with a description for each course. Programs All academic programs of study are listed in the general Index that begins on page 486. The page numbers listed after each direct readers to the description of the program within the information for the department that offers it (in some cases more than one department collaborates to offer a program, so multiple page numbers are given). Courses Though all the course descriptions in the catalog follow the same basic pat- tern, a number of variables determine the specifi c information contained in each. The following example contains labels to illustrate how to read a course description: Total Course Course Course Lecture Lab credit prefi x* number title hours hours hours ENGL 1102 English Composition II 3/0/3 Prerequisite: ENGL 1101 Conditions to be met before taking the course.
