Course Descriptions Index
Course Descriptions. Course descriptions provide the following
information: subject prefix; course number; course title; any of the Goals of
UNC Charlotte Education that the course satisfies A=Arts, C=Individual,
Society and Culture, L=Literature, O=Oral Communication; P=Problem-solving,
S=Science, V=Values, W=Writing Intensive, X=Cross-Cultural);
semester credit hours assigned to the course; prerequisites and/or corequisites

is offered (Evenings, Yearly, Alternate years, Fall, Spring, Summer, On demand).
The description may specify the number of class (lecture) and/or laboratory
sessions and hours. If no class hours are given, the number of class hours per
week is the same as the number of semester hours credit assigned to the course.
For example:
SUBJ 1234. Title of Course. (Goals Met) (Credit Hours) Pre/corequisites.
Brief description of course content. (Three lecture hours and one three-hour
laboratory per week) (When offered)
Course Numbering System. Courses are identified by four-digit
numbers. The first digit indicates the level of the course: 1000-2999: lower-division
undergraduate; 3000-3999: upper-division undergraduate; 4000-4999:
upper-division undergraduate and graduate; 5000-5999: graduate and
advanced undergraduate; 6000-7999: graduate only; 8000-8999: doctoral
only. The following second digits designate special types of courses: 0
for topics; 4 for internships and practica, 5 for cooperative
education, 6 for seminars, 7 for honors courses, 8 for
independent study, and 9 for research.
Undergraduate/Graduate Course Requirements. Additional work is
required of graduate students enrolled for graduate credit in 4000-level
courses. Undergraduate students permitted to enroll in 5000-level
courses are expected to complete the same assignments and to be graded on the
same scale as the graduate students in the course. To enroll in a 5000-level
course, an advanced undergraduate student must have senior standing, an overall
GPA of at least 3.0, and permission of the instructor. Courses numbered 6000
and higher are for graduate students only. Graduating seniors may be
permitted to enroll in these courses in accordance with the Dual Undergraduate/
Graduate Registration Policy described in this Catalog.
Course Prefix. Courses offered for academic credit are listed by number within each subject and the subjects are listed alphabetically according to prefixes.
