Course listings are subject to change without notice. Courses listed in the
General Catalog are approved to be taught for the specified term, and are not
a reflection of what will actually be offered for that term. For course
offerings/availability by term, see the Schedule
of Classes. Each course number links to the Schedule of Classes.
Students must meet the course prerequisites or otherwise
satisfy the instructor of his or her preparation to take the course.
Prerequisites can be waived only at the discretion of the instructor or
department offering the course.
Sample Course Description:
Following is a standard, dummy course description with the individual
elements explained in the order in which they appear in the description.
Each course will not necessarily have all
of these elements.
SOC 406 Social Structure in Modern
Societies (3) [Rpt.] I GRD Critical review of modern theory and
research on social structure and social organization in modern societies. 2R,
3L. P, 6 units of sociology or CR. (Identical with HIST 406.) May be convened

Course title.
(3) Number of units.
[Rpt.] May be repeated for
credit. A restriction regarding the number of times a course may be repeated
for credit (beyond the student's first enrollment) or the total number of
units of credit permitted for a course may be designated. [Rpt.] indicates
that the course may be repeated for credit once, for a total of two
enrollments. [Rpt./2] indicates that the course may be repeated for credit
twice, for a maximum of three enrollments in the course; [Rpt./6 units] means
that the course may be repeated until the student has received a total of 6
units of credit. [Rpt./] indicates that the course may repeated an unlimited
number of times; students should consult with department for details and
possible restrictions. It is the student's
responsibility to ensure that course content is not duplicated.
I Semester in which a course
is usually offered. I indicates Fall semester; II, Spring; and S, Summer. If
no semester designation is present, the course is usually offered each term.
Courses are sometimes offered during a term other than that indicated in the
Catalog; for offerings in a particular term, consult the Schedule
of Classes for that term.
GRD/CDT GRD and CDT indicate
that the course is available by examination. GRD indicates that the course is
available by examination for a grade and credit, and CDT indicates that the
course is available by examination for credit only. These options are not
available for graduate credit.

on. . . societies Course description.
2R, 3L Class structure. R, L,
S, and D indicate "recitation" (lecture), "laboratory",
"studio", and "discussion". 2R, 3L indicates that the
class meets for two hours of recitation and three hours of laboratory per week
(based upon 15 weeks). For courses consisting of recitation periods only, the
number of class hours per week is the same as the unit value and is not
specified in the course listing.
ED, ES In addition to the
above abbreviations for class structure, the College of Engineering and Mines
uses the abbreviations ED and ES to designate the number of units in the areas
of "engineering design" and "engineering science". Thus
1ED, 2ES signifies that the course meets the requirement for 1 unit of
engineering design and 2 units of engineering science.
P Prerequisites. Identifies
courses or other experiences which must be completed prior to enrolling in the
course listed. Students must meet the course prerequisites or
otherwise satisfy the instructor of his or her preparation to take the course.
Prerequisites can be waived only at the discretion of the instructor or
department offering the course.
CR Concurrent registration.
Identifies courses which must be taken during the same term as the course
listed.
(Identical with HIST 406)
Cross listing. Identifies other departments which give credit for the same
course. The complete course description is shown in the course list of the
"home" department which has instructional responsibility for the
course. An abbreviated listing appears in the course list of the "cross
listing" department. Exceptions are house numbered
courses, which do not have course descriptions.
May be convened with 506
Certain 400- and 500-level courses with the same number and title may be
convened jointly. Students may receive credit for such courses only once,
whether jointly convened or separately, unless designated [Rpt.] or unless
special approval is granted by the student's major advisor. The 500-level
listing designates additional requirements for graduate credit.
Fee Special course fees
apply. If special fees apply, the Schedule of Classes will include a
note and a link to the appropriate Special
Fees table.
Field Trip Course activities
include one or more field trips.
Writing Emphasis Course Every
undergraduate degree program includes at least one required writing-emphasis
course. Writing-emphasis courses are regular junior- or senior-level courses
in an academic discipline in which at least half the grade awarded is
determined by written work appropriate to the academic discipline. Such
courses are identified with the phrase "Writing Emphasis Course" at
the end of the course description. Prerequisite to a writing-emphasis course
is a satisfactory performance on the Upper-Division Writing
Proficiency Examination (UDWPE) or, for those students whose UDWPE is
evaluated as unsatisfactory, further developmental work in writing. For
more information see the UDWPE
Policy.
The number by which a course is designated indicates the level of the
course. Courses are numbered as follows:
100-299: Lower-division
courses primarily for freshmen and sophomores.
- 100-199: Primarily
introductory and beginning courses.
- 200-299:
Intermediate-level courses.
300-499: Upper-division
courses primarily for juniors and seniors.
- 300-399:
Advanced-intermediate-level courses.
- 400-499*: Advanced-level
courses.
500-599*: Graduate courses.
Open to exceptionally well-qualified seniors with the prior written approval
of the course instructor and the Graduate College. Also see the Graduate
Credit for Seniors policy.
600-699: Graduate courses.
Not open to undergraduate students.
700-799: Graduate courses
limited to doctoral students.
800-899: Courses limited to
students working toward degrees offered by the College of Medicine or the
College of Pharmacy. Not available for credit toward other degrees.
900-999: Independent
graduate study involving research, thesis, or dissertation. Not open to
undergraduates.
*Certain 400- and 500-level courses with the same number and title may be
convened jointly. Students may receive credit for such courses only once,
whether jointly convened or separately, unless designated [Rpt.] or unless
special approval is granted by the student's major advisor.
University-wide House
Numbered Courses
Most University of Arizona courses use a combination of lectures,
discussions, and laboratories as their basic teaching format. University-wide
"house" numbers identify three categories of courses using
alternative teaching formats:
Jump down
to:
Courses which designate special
senior-level undergraduate research or projects
Courses offered in small group settings
Courses taught on an individual basis
(individual studies)
- Special
senior-level undergraduate research or project courses
are identified (1) for students pursuing majors which require a synthesizing
project or paper as a part of completion of the major and (2) for thesis
research and writing for students completing the Honors Program. These
courses are designated as 498 and 498H respectively.
498. Senior Capstone
(credit varies). A culminating experience for majors involving a
substantive project that demonstrates a synthesis of learning accumulated
in the major, including broadly comprehensive knowledge of the discipline
and its methodologies. Senior standing required.
Grades Available: A, B, C, D, E, I, P/F, S/P*, W.
498H. Honors Thesis (3)
[Rpt./6 units]. An honors thesis is required of all the students
graduating with honors. Students ordinarily sign up for this course as a
two-semester sequence. The first semester the student performs research
under the supervision of a faculty member; the second semester the student
writes an honors thesis.
Grades Available: A, B, C, D, E, I, W.
- Small group
courses are identified by numbers ending in 95, 96, and
97. The study area of such courses is indicated through a subscript and
subtitle.
