CHANGES IN CATALOGUE INFORMATION
Caution: The course offerings and
requirements of Washington
and Lee University are under examination and revision continually.
This catalogue is not a contract; it merely presents the offerings
and requirements in effect at the time of publication and in no way
guarantees that the offerings and requirements will not change. The
University specifically reserves the right to change requirements
for any major during any particular year.
Whenever changes in course
offerings or requirements occur,
students will be notified by a posting outside the Office of the
University Registrar. The individual student assumes full
responsibility for compliance with all academic requirements.
Current course offerings may be obtained from the appropriate
department. Current major and degree requirements may be obtained
from the University Registrar, the Dean of the College, the Dean of
the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics, or from the head
of the appropriate department.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This catalogue presents, subject
to change, the courses that
can reasonably be expected to be offered during the 1995-96
academic year.
A course is the minimum amount of
work in a given subject
for which credit is granted. Each course is indivisible and has a
separate number and separate grade for each term. A course extends
through a single term, but successive term courses may be so
connected that no credit for one of them is given until all are
completed. Such "linked" courses are indicated by the use of a
connecting hyphen (e.g. 101-102). The credits awarded for each
course are within parentheses after the course number. Thus
Philosophy 101(3) indicates a one-term course granting three
credits; French 111-112(8), a two-term, linked course granting
eight credits.
The term in which each course is
offered and whether the
class has a laboratory meeting are cited below the description of
the course.
Some courses are given only in
alternate years. In such
cases, the course listing is bracketed and accompanied by an
indication of the year in which it is to be given, if known.
The departmental listing of
faculty is presented
alphabetically by rank with the department head listed first in the
appropriate rank.
Courses are numbered on the
following basis:
100-199 - Introductory courses or
course sequences
ordinarily taken by freshmen or sophomores.
200-299 - Intermediate courses or
course sequences with or
without prerequisites ordinarily taken by sophomores or juniors.
300-399 - Advanced courses or
course sequences, with
specified prerequisites (courses, class standing, or special
permission) ordinarily taken by juniors or seniors. Students may be
admitted to advanced courses (1) if they have met the prerequisite,
or (2) in exceptional cases, with the approval of the department
and the appropriate dean.
400-499 - Independent work
(directed studies, directed
projects, tutorials, internships, seniors theses, and honors
theses).
Note: Courses with a H meet a General Education requirement. To
determine which General Education requirement a course satisfies,
see listing on Pages 74 and 75.
