Prerequisites and Co-requisites

Many of the courses required to complete a major or to meet general education requirements have prerequisites. Course prerequisites comprise a course (or courses) or other criteria that must be completed prior to enrollment in that course. If a course has one or more prerequisites, they are noted under the course title in the course descriptions section. (Note: Some prerequisites may have their own criteria that need to be completed.)

When enrolling in a course, the prerequisites for the current catalog year are the ones that must be met even though students are graduating under the provisions of an earlier catalog.

A limited number of courses also have co-requisites that are required to be taken at the same time as the course described. Co-requisites appear beneath the prerequisites. In some cases, previous completion of the required co-requisite is acceptable and noted.
