COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Courses descriptions can be obtained in two main ways:

• through current and past catalogs
• through the Transcript Department

Course descriptions are located in the catalogs based on course level and college affiliation.  Catalogs have a separate section for each college. The course descriptions appear at the end of the college section with which they are affiliated.

For example, LAE 101, "English Composition I," is a lower undergraduate level course offered through the College of Arts and Sciences.  Its course description appears at the end of the College of Arts and Sciences section in the undergraduate catalog or combined undergraduate and graduate catalog, depending on the catalog year.

Current catalogs are available online.  Past catalogs are available for photocopying in the University Library on the North Shore campus. Library business hours can be found here.

REQUESTING DESCRIPTIONS THROUGH THE TRANSCRIPT DEPARTMENT
