Course Title, Code, Credit Value, and Description
Each course offered at the University has a unique code, title and credit value. A list of courses offered may be found in this Catalog. In addition, the Catalog contains a brief description of the course content and any required prerequisites or co-requisites. The course code consists of three or four letters that reflect its discipline or field of study, followed by a three-digit number that indicates its level. The title of the course gives an indication of its content. The credit value of the course has three numbers; the first one gives the number of lecture hours per week, the second shows the number of laboratory or problem-solving hours per week, and the third one gives the overall credit value of the course which will contribute to the particular degree requirements. The example below further explains the course code and value information.
