General Course Information

Numbering: Courses are numbered according to level of difficulty based upon prior preparation and knowledge expected. The 100-level courses require the least in the way of prior collegiate preparation, whereas 300- and 400-level courses require the most in depth expectation for critical thinking and in written and speaking communication skills.

Credit: All offerings carry a specified credit load. One unit of credit is considered the equivalent of 750 instructional minutes per semester.

Prerequisites: These are listed at the end of the course description where applicable. Waiver of the prerequisite can be given only by the dean and/or instructor in charge of the course.

Sequence: Except in extenuating circumstances, courses in the BML major are expected to be taken in numerical order.

Internships
