What are prerequisites and co-requisites?
Prerequisites are courses that must be taken before another course may be taken. For example, in the community counseling program, EPCE 5353 (Community Counseling) and EPCE 5364 (Theories of Counseling) do not have any prerequisites which means that a beginning student may take either course. However, EPCE 5366 (Dysfunctional Behavior) requires that both of those courses be taken before a student can register for it. Thus, EPCE 5353 and EPCE 5364 are prerequisites for EPCE 5366. Co-requisites are courses that may be taken at the same time as another course. The only course in the Counselor Education program that has co-requisites is EPCE 5360 (Practicum). In the school counseling program, for example, EPCE 5367 (Family Counseling), EPCE 5370 (Ethics), EPCE 5371 (Diverse Populations) and EPCE 5376 (Fundamentals of Assessment) are courses that may be taken at the same time as EPCE 5360. However, students may only enroll in a maximum of two (2) co-requisite courses when enrolling in EPCE
