COURSE LEVEL DESIGNATIONS:
100 level
courses
Most
100 level courses are open to all students without prerequisite. However, some
of these courses do require some background in the subject or, in the case of
introductory photography, writing, and studio art courses, the submission of a
portfolio. Check individual course
descriptions for details.
200 level
courses
Many
200 level courses are also open to all students without prerequisite. However, in
some programs there are strict prerequisites, and the courses are only open to
students with Sophomore standing or higher. Check individual course descriptions for
details.
300 and 400
level courses
Most
300 and 400 level courses have stated pre-requisites, and are open only to
students who have a background in the subject.
The classes are limited to an enrollment of 15 students; Upper College
Seminars for moderated students meet once per week.

Irregular
Program Form: needed if you wish to register for more than 18 credits
(you must have a 3.60 average or above), or if you intend to be a part-time
