Academic Credit Course Descriptions

It should be noted that due to the nature of Southern, no listing of course descriptions, such as the one found here, can remain complete for many weeks after being compiled. Southern attempts to offer courses in nearly any subject a reasonable number of people want to study, provided a qualified instructor can be found. This list of courses is up-to-date as of the start of the fall semester 2006. A schedule of the courses to be offered during any particular semester, along with the times and day they will meet, will be distributed in advance of each semester. This course listing is provided for information purposes only and is not to be considered binding.

Southern reserves the right to make changes in course content, course offerings and/or other areas concerning curriculum.

Some courses have specifically designated prerequisite and/or co-requisite courses. If a course has a prerequisite, that means the work in that course requires the knowledge or skill gained in another course, and therefore students are not allowed to enroll in the advanced course until they have completed a prerequisite course or courses. If a course has a co-requisite, that means successful work in that course requires the skill and knowledge to be attained at the same time in another course, and therefore students are not allowed to enroll in certain courses unless they also enroll in co-requisites during the same semester. Courses numbered 275 are reserved for special topics to be offered in a particular area, e.g., AC 275, EN 275, etc. A 275 course may be repeated for additional credit providing the topic is not repeated. Each course description listed below includes information detailing the semester(s) in which the course is most likely to be taught. Not all courses are offered every semester or every year. Semester designations are as follows: F (Fall), S (Spring), SU (Summer), or O (occasionally in response to specific needs).
