A. Prefix list summary (pg. 21-25) Note from Hilary Davies: The spreadsheet contains information on the prefix department and college. I did not include any prefixes that are only listed under one college and department. Please note that most of this information was approved by UAB/GAB/Faculty Senate. Many of the anomalies occur in non credit and '95 and '97 courses. Also several credit prefixes appear on the list, but are not listed in the catalog any more, e.g. AWS. The AS prefix was changed to STAT several years ago, but two courses still appear under the AS prefix. Enrollment Services provided the full list of data, which I edited.
