UWM Undergraduate Catalog 2012-2013

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

This undergraduate catalog is divided into two basic content areas.

The front section (through the Academic Information section) contains basic, noncurricular information pertinent to undergraduate education.

The school and college sections that follow include program requirements, course descriptions, and faculty listings.

KEY TO COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM

100-299 Lower division courses not open to graduate students for credit.

300-699 Upper division courses that may, if so designated, carry graduate credit. Courses with level "U" are offered for undergraduate credit only; courses with level "U/G" may be offered for undergraduate and/or graduate credit. Insofar as a course approved for graduate credit may not be offered for graduate credit in a given semester, the current Timetable should be consulted. Junior standing is normally a minimum prerequisite for 300-699 courses which carry graduate credit.

NP-Nonrepeatable Prerequisite. A prerequisite course for which the student is not permitted to substitute the grade earned when the course is repeated subsequent to earning credit in the higher level course.

Ex.: CompSci 252 Computer Programming II...Prereq: CompSci 152 (NP). Students may not repeat CompSci 152 for the purpose of receiving a higher grade after enrolling in CompSci 252.

C-Corequisite. A course which may be taken as either a prerequisite or as a concurrent registration with the higher level course.

Ex.: Bus Adm 210 Introduction to Management Statistics...Prereq: Math 211 (C) or Math 231 (C). Students must enroll in Math 211 or 231 either prior to or at the same time as they enroll in Bus Adm 210.

NC-Nonrepeatable Corequisite. A corequisite course for which the student is not permitted to substitute the grade earned when the course is repeated subsequent to earning credit in the higher level course.

Ex.: HlthMnt 232 Nursing Practice for Health Promotion...Prereq: admission to enroll in clinical nursing major; HlthMnt 210 (NC), 211 (NC); FndNurs 230 (NC); HlthRst 320 (NC). Students must enroll in the four listed (NC) courses either prior to or at the same time as they enroll in HlthMnt 232. They may not repeat any of these four courses for the purpose of receiving a higher grade after enrolling in HlthMnt 232.

ER-Enrollment Restriction. A course which is not open for enrollment to students who have earned credits in a specified course (or courses) with similar or overlapping content.

Ex: Econ 100-after cr is earned in Econ 103 or 104.

A course number followed by another number in parentheses means that the course was previously offered under the number in parentheses. The two courses are the same course; and the repeat policy applies.

Ex: Hum Kin 270 (370) - Hum Kin 270 is the same course as Hum Kin 370. A student with credit in Hum Kin 370 may enroll in 270 as a repeat unless 370 was taken more than once.
