Course Descriptions

Graduate courses offered by Georgia State University are listed in this section in alphabetical order by prefix name and course number.


Definitions

Computer Skills Prerequisites (CSP): Some courses offered by the Robinson College of Business require any student who enrolls in that course to be proficient with certain computer skills. For a complete description of CSP requirements, please refer to the “Robinson College of Business” chapter of this catalog.

Co-requisites: A listed course’s co-requisite identifies another course or courses that should be taken concurrently with the listed course. A student who enrolls in a listed course with co-requisites must also enroll in those co-requisite courses. A student who has previously completed a co-requisite course may not need to repeat it; he or she should consult with an academic adviser before registering to find out specific requirements.

Course credit hours: The total semester hours of credit for each course are shown in parentheses immediately following the course title.

Prerequisites: A listed course’s prerequisite identifies a course, courses, or other requirements that a student who enrolls in the listed course should have completed success-fully before enrolling in the listed course. Any student who has not met prerequisites for a listed course may be administratively withdrawn from that course at the discretion of the instructor. It is the policy of some university departments to withdraw automatically any student who enrolls in a course without first meeting its prerequisites.
