COURSE LISTINGS AND DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION

The Departments of Instruction, which are arranged in alphabetical order, state requirements for a major in that department and list other departments from which courses may be selected to complete the major. Courses outside the department which may be accepted toward a major are listed at the end of the regular courses of the department.

The hours for classes and the rooms in which they will be held are found in the Schedule of Classes, which is located on the College website at oasis.heidelberg.edu.

A comma between course numbers (e.g. 101, 102) indicates a two-semester sequence in which the first semester is not a prerequisite to the second semester. A dash between course numbers (e.g. 101-102) indicates a two-semester sequence in which the first semester is a prerequisite to the second semester, but may be taken for credit without the second.

The level of a course is indicated by its number. Courses in the 100’s are intended for first-year students; those in the 200’s are open to sophomores; those in the 300’s, to juniors and seniors and those in the 400’s, to seniors only. A student may take courses at his or her level or lower, but never above his or her level except under special circumstances with the approval of the Department Chair.

Ordinarily, odd-numbered courses are offered during the first semester and even-numbered courses during the second. Some courses, however, are offered both semesters without a change in number. Demand for certain courses or staff conditions may also necessitate a change in the usual sequence. Some courses are offered in alternate years only. An effort has been made to indicate, for your planning, when courses are offered. For uniformity, the notations are based upon the academic year dates. For example, “Fall of even-odd years” means “Fall of 2008-2009,” “Fall of 2010-2011,” etc.; “Spring of odd-even years” means “Spring of 2007-2008,” “Spring of 2009-2010,” etc.

If fewer than five students elect a course, or if unforeseen difficulties arise, the College reserves the right to withdraw it from the schedule without further notice.
