2008-2010 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Course Numbering


Providence College renumbered many of its undergraduate courses to adhere to newly instituted course numbering guidelines, effective with the 2004-2005 academic year. This catalog provides only the new course numbers in the listing of course descriptions, identification of prerequisites and corequisites, and in the “Sample Sequences” which highlight the program requirements for many of our programs of study.

Undergraduate course numbers generally fit into the following scheme:

100-level:
introductory or gateway courses to specific majors or programs of study; prerequisites may consist of other 100-level courses.

200-level:
intermediate-level courses; may have prerequisites of 100- or 200-level courses; more advanced than 100- level offerings.

300-level:
upper-division courses; may have prerequisites of 100-, 200-, or 300-level courses; more advanced than 100- or 200-level courses; may include internship, independent study, or tutorial courses.

400-level:
advanced upper-division courses; may have prerequisites of 100-, 200-, 300-, or 400-level courses; more advanced than 100-, 200-, or 300-level courses; may include internship, independent study, or tutorial courses. Internship, independent study, special topics, tutorial, and other non-standard courses have common course number ranges across the various academic disciplines.
