The courses listed represent the complete undergraduate offerings of departments and programs of Indiana University Northwest. The number of hours of credit awarded by a course is indicated in parentheses following the course title. The abbreviation "P" refers to the course prerequisite or prerequisites. The abbreviation "R" refers to the course recommended. The abbreviation "C" refers to concurrent.
Proper enrollment is the individual responsibility of each student. There are always level prerequisites, and there are frequently course prerequisites for the courses in all programs.
Before there can be a proper enrollment in any course having prerequisites, the prerequisites must be successfully completed. Concurrent enrollment is not permissible unless specifically stated otherwise.
Also, at the end of the course description (in parentheses) is a list of semesters/sessions (i.e., fall, spring, summer I, summer II) the course is offered. When "Occasionally" is indicated, the student should contact his or her advisor for further information when planning a program.
