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.
The same course may be counted toward two majors, or toward a major and minor, only if it is specified in the catalog as being required for both. An elective course may not count twice.
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:
| A = | a modified course given for fewer hours and credits |
| B = | a modified course given for more hours and credits |
| C = | a course with combined lecture and laboratory portions, with one grade given for both |
| H = | honors course |
| L = | a course consisting solely of laboratory work, or the separately graded laboratory portion of a course |
| R = | the separately graded lecture portion of a course (Thus, CHE 1045C is identical in content to CHE 1045R and 1045L taken together, but with one grade given for the entire course instead of separate lecture and laboratory grades). |
| S = | a course in the Division of Jewish Studies dealing with Sephardic history and culture |
Course sequences that extend through two successive semesters are differentiated as follows:
- Separated by a hyphen (e.g., LAT 1101-1102): The first is a pre-requisite for the second, and both must be taken in order to receive credit for either.
- 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.
- 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/registrar. Courses, though listed, are offered only if there is sufficient enrollment.
