Course Numbering System and Prefixes

Courses numbered from 100 through 299 are primarily for freshmen and sophomores; courses numbered 300 and above are primarily for juniors and seniors. First semester courses are usually denoted with even numbers; those for second semester courses are usually labeled with odd numbers. A double number, such as RL 100-101, indicates a study extending through both semesters. On student class schedules, class sections are noted by a letter following the course number (e.g., RL 100-A). The College reserves the right to change the course offerings in such ways as may be necessary. The following course prefixes are used throughout this Undergraduate Catalog.

Reading and Writing Intensive Courses

As a strategy of the Blue Mountain College Quality Enhancement Plan 2005-2010, The Keystone Project, certain courses have been earmarked as writing intensive (W.I.) and/or reading intensive (R.I.) Notations have been made for each course title indicating whether the course meets the requirements for intensive reading and/or writing. Students may refer to individual syllabi for more information.
