Course Sequencing
The departments of economics, mathematics, and modern languages and cultures have specific policies about taking lower numbered courses after successfully completing a higher numbered course. For example:
- Students cannot receive credit for a lower-level math course after successfully completing a higher-level course (e.g., students cannot receive credit for MATH 143 after completing MATH 162).
- Students cannot take ECON 108 after successfully completing (grade of D- or higher) ECON 207. Additionally, students who wish to repeat ECON 108, cannot do so after completing ECON 207.
- Students cannot receive credit for a lower-level language course after completing a higher-level course (e.g., a student who has completed JPNS 151 cannot then register and earn credit for JPNS 102).
Students are always advised to check directly with the department when questions arise.
Course Sequencing
The Hajim School, in conjunction with the departments of mathematics and physics and astronomy, has specific policies about taking introductory physics and math courses:
- Co-registration in MATH 143 or MATH 162 is required to take PHYS 121 or PHYS 121P
- Students who are co-registered in MATH 141, MATH 142, or MATH 161 can take PHYS 113 as an appropriate substitute for PHYS 121 or PHYS 121P for any major in the Hajim School
- Students who register for PHYS 113 are expected to earn a C- or higher before taking PHYS 122 or PHYS 122P
- Students can register for PHYS 122 or PHYS 122P with a satisfactory grade in PHYS 121 or PHYS 121P, or a C- or higher in PHYS 113 plus a passing grade in MATH 143 or MATH 162; Hajim students cannot substitute PHYS 114 for PHYS 122 or PHYS 122P
Students are advised to visit the department undergraduate coordinator or the Hajim Dean’s Office when questions arise.
