What are Prerequisites and Why Do I Need to Take Them?
• Prerequisites are specific courses and class standing that must be satisfied before you can enroll in a course. The prerequisites for each course are listed in the Class Schedule and the Undergraduate Catalog. Students without the proper prerequisites will not be prepared for the higher-level course and consequently, may encounter academic difficulty. • For example, in order to take FIN 301, a junior level course, ACC 204, ECO 105, and MAT 117 must be completed first. Student registrations are checked randomly prior to the beginning of each semester, and those students who do not have the proper prerequisites will be withdrawn from the class.
Prerequisites are specific courses that must be satisfied before you can enroll in a course. The prerequisites for each course are listed in the Class Schedule and the Touro Catalog. Completing all prerequisites before taking a course is important for academic success. The prerequisite course teaches specific materials that are essential for success in higher level courses. Students without the proper prerequisites will not be prepared for the course and will, consequently, encounter academic difficulty. English/Speech Communications, mathematics, economics and introductory business courses should be taken during the first 64 credits in order to satisfy prerequisites for upper level business courses. For example, in order to take EBF 337 (International Trading of Commodities), an upper level course, EBE 105 and EBK 101 or EBF 101 must be completed first. Student registrations are checked randomly prior to the beginning of each semester for compliance to the prerequisite requirements. S
