Divisions and Departments

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS of the University are under the direction of six divisions and the departments in those divisions. Following the introductory comments, you will find the courses offered by each division or department. The courses are listed, generally, in numerical sequence. Usually, the 100 and 200 numbered courses are lower division (freshman and sophomore) introductory courses. The courses numbered 300 and 400 are upper division (junior and senior) advanced courses. Normally, students should progress from lower to upper division work particularly in their major area of study. The course descriptions are only a brief notice of the content and are not intended to be all-inclusive statements of course objectives.
Courses, competencies, or approvals may be required before enrolling in a course. Students should be aware of prerequisites.
The semester hours of credit that may be earned by successfully completing the courses are listed in parenthesis following the course title. Some divisions include an optional symbol indicating when the course is regularly offered. Courses offered in the Fall Semester are indicated by (F). Courses offered in the Spring Semester are indicated by (S). On occasion courses are offered every other year, in which case, the semester indicator is followed by the appropriate odd or even year indication.
Concord University reserves the right to modify the frequency of course offerings because of insufficient enrollment, inability to competently staff the course, or other compelling reasons.
