Course descriptions are listed in alphabetical order.
Free electives are courses that typically fall outside of your required courses and program of study, or are not needed under any other section of your academic plan. Any credits that are not required for your degree audit on MyBLUEPrint will apply as free electives.
Standard information for each course includes the number, title, and credits (sometimes called credit hours or semester hours). For some courses, you will find information on the hours of class, laboratory, or studio for which the course is scheduled in each week of a regular semester; these weekly hours are expanded during summer sessions. Fees for courses are assessed on the basis of credits and other factors.
The course-numbering system generally suggests levels of difficulty and appropriateness. Courses at the 10000 and 20000 levels comprise introductory offerings and those are most commonly taken by freshmen and sophomores. Courses at the 30000 and 40000 levels are primarily for juniors and seniors. In some Purdue programs, undergraduates take courses at the 50000 level, but generally courses numbered 50000 and above are for graduate students.
Preparation for courses is indicated as follows:
P: indicates a prerequisite that must precede your enrollment in the course described. You may find one or more specific course numbers, the number of credits you should already have in a subject, a placement-test level, or other conditions.
C: indicates a corequisite that must be taken no later than the same semester in which you take the course described.
R: indicates a recommendation concerning conditions to be met for enrollment in the course.
When no subject code is shown for prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended courses, they are in the same subject area as the course being described. If you lack a prerequisite or corequisite, or if you wish to take a course numbered at a higher level than your present status, you should seek the department’s or instructor’s consent to enroll in the course.
V.T. means Variable Title and is shown for courses for which the title may be changed to specify the topic or other special focus of each offering.
Purdue University Fort Wayne reserves the right to add, withdraw, or change courses without notice.
Course Rotations:
To support accurate academic planning and timely degree completion, Purdue Fort Wayne includes course rotation information in the academic catalog. Course rotations indicate the anticipated term(s) in which a course is typically offered (e.g., Fall, Spring, Summer, every other year).
While PFW strives to adhere to published rotation schedules, course offerings may vary due to faculty availability, enrollment demand, or other institutional factors. Students are encouraged to consult with academic advisors regularly to ensure their academic plans align with current course availability.
Departments are responsible for maintaining accurate rotation schedules in the catalog and updating them annually to reflect changes in course offerings. This information is critical for advising, course scheduling, and ensuring students can complete their degree programs in a timely manner.
