PROGRAMS OF STUDY & COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

The pages which follow include undergraduate courses and programs.

Unless otherwise noted, courses meet for the same number of hours per week as the credit value of the course (e.g., a 3-credit course meets three hours per week).

Each school has minimum residence requirements for majors and minors; see each school’s section, as well as sections for individual subjects, for specific information.

Courses specifically required for two majors or a major and minor may double count. In addition, a maximum of one other course may double count. Statistics and Mathematics are not subject to this limitation.
Disciplines are listed alphabetically. Courses are listed numerically within each discipline and are designated by a four-digit number. If a suffix is used, it has the following meaning:

Course sequences that extend through two successive semesters are differentiated as follows:

1. Separated by a hyphen (e.g., FRE 1101­1102): The first is a prerequisite for the second, and both must be taken in order to receive credit for either.
2. Separated by a comma (e.g., CHE 1213C, 1214C): The first is a prerequisite for the second, but credit is given for the first course alone.
3. Separated by a semicolon (e.g., ART 1051; 1052): The first and second courses may be taken separately or in any order, and credit is given for each.

Parentheses around the title of a course indicate that the course is not expected to be offered during the period covered by this Catalog. Not every course listed in the Catalog is offered every semester or at every school. Courses offered during any specific semester and their hours are listed in each school’s Schedule of Courses, available at www.yu.edu/schedule. Courses, though listed, are offered only if there is sufficient enrollment. No credit is given for a course that is a prerequisite for an advanced one if it is taken after the advanced course has been completed.
