Graduate Courses

  • 5000-5990 Graduate Level
  • 6000-6990 Graduate (Restricted to Graduate Students)
  • 7000-7990 Advanced Graduate

Graduate courses are numbered at the 5000, 6000, and 7000 levels and are offered in the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business Administration, College of Education, and College of Engineering. These courses are described on the following pages and are listed by departments. Additionally, numerous senior-level courses in these colleges and the College of Agriculture and Human Ecology are permitted for graduate credit when offered dually as 4000 (5000).

A graduate student may be permitted to register for any course which appears in the published Schedule of Classes; however, only those courses taken at the 5000, 6000, and 7000 levels may be counted for graduate credit. Courses which are dually numbered, i.e., 4000 (5000), are essentially undergraduate courses in which graduate students may earn graduate credit on the basis of additional work required by the instructor. Graduate credit will not be given for a course numbered at the 4000 level or below. A course taken at the 4000 level may not be taken later at the 5000 level without special permission from the departmental chairperson, college dean, and the Associate Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies.

Graduate courses may be taken for undergraduate credit when prior approval is obtained (see "Admission of Seniors to Graduate Courses"). When undergraduate credit is received, it will not later be converted to graduate credit. Unclassified students will not receive graduate credit for graduate courses; however, Nondegree graduate students may receive graduate credit when such has appropriate approval.

The University reserves the right to change course numbers and course descriptions after the date of publication of the catalog, or to refuse to offer the course as described when circumstances warrant such action.
