Individual study courses offer learning opportunities in areas or subjects not covered by regular courses. Courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate students in the M.A.L.S. program. With the permission of the Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies and the course instructor, advanced undergraduates may take selected graduate courses for undergraduate credit. No course may be taken for credit which is a prerequisite for, or introductory to, a course already completed successfully. A current prerequisite list is published in the Schedule of Courses each semester.
Students are responsible for checking their courses against the list before registering.
