2022-2023 Academic Catalog > Graduate Academics > Course Descriptions - Graduate
The Jacksonville University catalog lists all academic courses alphabetically by discipline, then numerically within each discipline, with complete descriptions including credit hours, terms offered, contact hours per week, and required prerequisites. Example:
ACCT 202. Principles of Accounting II (3; F/S)
Three hours per week. Prerequisite: ACCT 201 and MATH 112 or MATH 140 with a "C" or better in the Mathematics course. A “C” or better must be earned in ACCT 201 and in ACCT 202 as a prerequisite for all upper-level accounting courses except ACCT 310. In addition, a “C” (2.0) or better is required in order to use this course as part of the core requirement for any business major. A continuation of ACCT 201. Topics covered include accounting for long-term liabilities, stockholders equity, the cash flow statement, job order costing systems, cost behavior analysis, cost-volume-profit analysis, budgeting, standard costs, differential analysis and variable costing. A spreadsheet project must be satisfactorily completed to pass this course.
ACCT = Accounting discipline
202 = sophomore level (see "Course Level Designations" section below)
Principles of Accounting II = course title
3 = three hours credit
F/S = offered fall and spring terms
A remedial class does not earn college credit when successfully completed and is designated with an "N" at the end of its course number, i.e. ENGL 100N. Courses that earn college credit, but do not fulfill the core requirement in the area, have a statement in the course description, i.e. MATH 100.
Courses offered in a given semester are indicated, using the following codes:
Courses listed with no semester code may be those courses usually, but not always, offered in fall and/or spring semesters, or may be those courses offered on an occasional or infrequent basis as dictated by the resources of the individual departments.
Courses offered in summer generally include those that will satisfy the University Core Curriculum requirements, specific undergraduate and graduate major or program cohort courses, various study abroad courses, and elective courses.
Courses shown in brackets refer to prior course codes that have been changed; e.g. MGT 350 is now DSIM 350.
Graduate-Level Courses (500-799)
Specific standards for graduate-level courses are established by individual graduate programs. See the relevant graduate student handbook for more information.
