Course Descriptions

The course descriptions in this catalog indicate the content of the course and prerequisites when applicable. Courses are listed in alphabetical order with a four-letter prefix code, followed by number and title. The number in parentheses at the end of the course title indicates the credit granted, in terms of semester hours, for each course. Generally, the number of semester hours is the number of times a class will meet each week. Exceptions are noted in individual course descriptions and, in most cases, prerequisites and/or corequisites stated. The course number after the prefix indicates the college year in which the courses should ordinarily be taken.

Courses numbered 01-099 are developmental in nature, not intended for transfer purposes, and will not usually fulfill degree requirements.

Colorado Mesa University reserves the right to withdraw any program or course which is not justified due to lack of enrollment or availability of instructor. Other courses may be added if there is sufficient demand. Certain courses are only offered during the fall or spring semesters, or may be available only in alternating years. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with their advisor and check the two-year course matrix on the Colorado Mesa University website for course availability.
