The following course descriptions are intended to briefly

describe the nature of each of the courses. For more com-

plete information, departments or faculty can provide spe-

cific course syllabuses.

The numbers in the right side of each description define the

credits and average weekly contact hours the student will

spend in formal classes during a 16 week semester. Classes

scheduled for other than a 16 week semester will have the

contact hours adjusted accordingly.

a - defines the number of semester credits

b - average number of lecture hours per week

c - average number of laboratory hours per week

d - average number of clinical hours per week

e - average number of other formal instructional hours per

week

In addition to these hours, students are expected to com-

plete homework assignments on their own time. These

assignments may include library research, computer utiliza-

tion, field trips, cultural performances, and other instruc-

tional activities.
