questions; to develop a continuing intellectual curiosity that will
expand through the post-college years.

moral concepts which are approved by the enlightened conscience of
mankind; to develop tolerance toward the rights and opinions of
others; to develop acceptance of the social obligation of serving
humanity and striving for its welfare.

those numbered 200 – 299 are second year courses, courses numbered 300
– 399 are third year courses, and courses numbered 400 – 499 are
fourth year courses.
        Odd numbers (215, 217) usually imply first semester courses and even
numbers (216 , 328), second semester courses. Hyphenated courses (
214- 246) indicate an integrated sequence to be taken consecutively
and completely before credit can be applied toward graduation. Course
numbers separated by a comma (381, 382) indicate that each semester’s
work may be taken independently of the other and credit received for
the work of a single semester.  Courses separated by semi-colons (
451; 452) indicate that the first semester is pre-requisite to the
second, however, the first semester taken alone carries credit toward
graduation.
