Programs of Study
The College’s major and minor programs are described on the following pages, along with the individual courses that are a part of each program. Only courses offered with some regularity are listed. Experiential education courses offered during the January term are listed annually in a special booklet rather than in this catalog.
Courses numbered 101-199 are primarily for freshmen, 201-299 for sophomores, and 300-399 for juniors and seniors. A few courses numbered 401 and higher are intended primarily for seniors. Close attention should be given to all prerequisites.
Some courses are offered in alternate years; others are offered only as demand warrants. The College reserves the right to withdraw or reschedule any course when the number of qualified enrollees is insufficient or when a qualified faculty member is unavailable in a given term. If there is sufficient demand for additional courses, they may be offered. A detailed Schedule of Courses is published annually. Subject listings are as follows:
