Graduate Faculty
Graduate faculty members whose appointments are current as of the publication date of this Bulletin are listed by academic rank in the department(s) in which they serve. Each faculty member’s area of specialization is listed.
This section sets forth UNCG’s graduate degree programs and descriptions of the courses of instruction offered. Each course description is represented by a three-letter symbol (indicating the department directing the course) and a three-digit number. Courses numbered 500-599 are open to advanced undergraduates and graduate students; courses numbered 600-749 are open only to graduate students; and courses numbered 750-799 are open only to doctoral students.
The first of the figures enclosed in parentheses immediately following the course title indicates the number of semester hour credits given for the course. A semester hour credit corresponds, unless otherwise stated, to one 50-minute class period per week through one semester. The second and third figures indicate the number of lecture and laboratory hours, respectively.
Prerequisites for a course are indicated in the course description by "Pr." followed by appropriate requirements which must be met before that course may be taken. A hyphen (-) between course numbers indicates that no credit toward a graduate degree will be given for either course until both are successfully completed. A comma (,) between course numbers indicates that independent credit is granted for the work of one semester.
Examples of Credit Structures
(1:1) = 1 credit hour : 1 lecture hour per week
(1:0:3) = 1 credit hour : 0 lecture hours : 3 lab hours per week
(2:2) = 2 credit hours : 2 lecture hours per week
(2:1:3) = 2 credit hours : 1 lecture hour : 3 lab hours per week
(2:0:6) = 2 credit hours : 0 lectures hours: 6 lab hours per week
(3:3) = 3 credit hours : 3 lecture hours per week
(3:1:6) = 3 credit hours : 1 lecture hours : 6 lab hours per week
(1-3) = 1 to 3 credit hours
Service Learning Courses
UNCG defines Academic Service Learning as a teaching method that links community action and academic study so that each strengthens the other. Students, faculty, and community partners collaborate to enable students to address community needs, initiate social change, build effective relationships, enhance academic skills, and develop civic literacy. Service Learning encourages critical consideration of the ethical dimensions of community engagement.
Service Learning courses are marked (svl) after the course title and incorporate 15-20 hours of service.
