Departments and Course Descriptions

HOW TO READ COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

The following courses are offered by the Graduate School of the University of Arkansas. Each course is identified by a four-digit number, which carries the following information:

  • The first three digits identify the course, the first digit denoting course level. The fourth digit indicates semester credit hours.
  • The letter "V" is used in place of the last digit for those courses in which credit is variable, the minimum and maximum credit being given in parenthesis after the course title.
  • A suffix to the course number will provide further identification. An "L" denotes a laboratory. Other suffixes may be found in the class schedule.
  • As nearly as can be determined in advance, the semester in which each course will be offered is designated by a symbol in parentheses placed immediately after the course title.
    • · Courses marked (FA) will be offered in the fall semester.
    • · Courses marked (SP) will be offered in the spring semester.
    • · Courses marked (SU) will be offered during one or both terms of the summer session.
  • Where there are prerequisites to a course, these are noted following the description. Students are urged to check prerequisites before enrolling in any course, and to consult their advisers whenever there is any question of prerequisites having been satisfactorily completed.

Course Prefixes (Alpha Codes) Note: Graduate degrees are not offered in each of these fields. For degrees offered, see page 15.

Changes in Catalog Information

This catalog contains information that should be accurate at the time of completion. However, regulations, fees, programs of study, and individual courses are regularly revised, and the catalog information is, thus, subject to change.

Students are expected to keep informed concerning current regulations, policies, and program requirements in their fields of study and must meet all requirements of the degree programs in which they are enrolled. Courses that are modified or added to a curriculum and that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level beyond that at which a student is enrolled may become graduation requirements for that student. Courses that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level lower than the one at which the student is enrolled are not required for that student.

The most current information, including a full listing of all Graduate School policies, may be found on the Graduate School Web site at <http://www.uark.edu/grad>.
