COURSE-NUMBERING SYSTEM
These course descriptions are arranged alphabetically (except the subdivision of Reserve Officers' Training Corps). If any course cannot be located readily, refer to the index. Courses are numbered as follows:
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES (1 to 399): General courses accepted in fulfillment of requirements for the bachelor's degrees.
ADVANCED UNDERGRADUATE COURSES (400 to 499): Courses open to graduate students and to juniors and seniors and, with the special written permission of the head of the department or the chair of the program sponsoring the course, to qualified students in earlier semesters.
GRADUATE COURSES (500 to 599): Courses restricted to students registered in the Graduate School, seniors with an average of at least 3.50, and other students who have been granted permission to enroll by the dean of the Graduate School. These courses are described in the Penn State Graduate Degree Programs Bulletin.
CREDITS AND HOURS
Credits are awarded on the semester-hour basis. According to Senate Policy 42-23, a total of at least forty hours of work planned and arranged by the University faculty is required for the average student to gain 1 credit. While the distribution of time varies from course to course, generally one-third of the time is devoted to formal instruction, such as lecture, recitation, laboratory, field trips, etc., and two-thirds of the time to outside preparation.
CREDITS, CLASSROOM WORK, AND PRACTICUM WORK
The number of credits for each course is indicated in parentheses and can be earned with classroom, practicum, or laboratory work as designated in the Schedule of Classes, published each semester.
A typical period is fifty minutes.
A department may schedule an entire section in an undergraduate course for fewer credits than the maximum authorized. In 400-level courses, a department may schedule an individual student for fewer credits than the maximum authorized. In no case, however, may the course be scheduled for 0 credit, or may the total credits scheduled for any student exceed the maximum number authorized for the course.
COURSES THAT MAY BE REPEATED AND VARIABLE
CREDIT COURSES
If a course may be repeated, the words "per semester" follow the number of credits--for example (3 credits per semester). These courses may be repeated indefinitely unless the credits are followed by the maximum number of credits allowed, such as (3 per semester, maximum of 12).
Courses may have variable credits, such as (1-3), (2-6), or (3-10). Here, the larger number signifies the total credits that can be accumulated for the course over an indefinite number of semesters, unless otherwise specified. For example, a course listed with (1-6) could be taken six semesters for 1 credit each semester, or two semesters for 3 credits each semester, or once for 6 credits, etc.
In some courses with variable credits, students may be permitted to accumulate more than the larger number shown. Such courses will be listed as, for example, (1-3 per semester, maximum of 12).
Any special departmental limitations are indicated by footnotes.
COMMON COURSE NUMBERS
The following course numbers for which students may register have been set up for common use by major programs, with University Senate approval, to encourage innovation and provide flexibility in designing programs, but in no case may a course be scheduled for 0 credits.

PREREQUISITE AND CONCURRENT COURSES
Prerequisites are approximations of the necessary prior specific or general academic knowledge, background, or semester standing required in order to succeed academically in a specific course. Concurrent courses are to be taken in the same semester. The course instructor has the right to limit the students in the course to those who have the stated prerequisites. If this limitation is exercised, it must occur before the end of the course add period.
Any student who wishes to take a course for which the student does not have the listed prerequisite or concurrent course must consult with the student's adviser and obtain the permission of the instructor or course coordinator (if any) of the course for which an exception is desired. The instructor or course coordinator may waive the requirement if convinced that the student has acquired the necessary prerequisite knowledge from other sources.
