Working with local Education Services Officers, University of Maryland University College Area Directors schedule UMUC courses in Asia, subject to the availability of qualified faculty.

Courses regularly taught in UMUC Asia are listed below. They are arranged by academic department in alphabetical order. The number of semester hours is shown in parentheses (3) after the title of the course, and recommendations and/or restrictions and prerequisites are indicated. A brief description of the course content then follows. Courses fulfilling the international perspective, historic perspective, and civic responsibility requirements for the bachelor's degree are indicated with a globe icon for international, an hourglass icon for historic, and a capital building icon for civic. A quill icon is for upper-level writing. For example:

HIST 156 History of the United States to 1865 (3).

A survey of the history of the United States from colonial times to the end of the Civil War. The establishment and development of national institutions are traced. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: HIST 156 or HUMN 119.

The prerequisites listed for many courses indicate the level of knowledge expected at the beginning of the course. Advanced courses, especially upper-level courses, assume relevant previous study and students are expected to perform at the level of the course regardless of their academic background. Students are advised to complete the Associate-Level General Education Requirements before enrolling in upper-level courses (numbered 300 or higher).

For upper-level courses students should have writing ability equivalent to that achieved after completing ENGL 101 plus an additional writing course. An appropriate background in mathematics should be considered prerequisite to any course of a quantitative nature, numbered 200 or higher, such as economics, statistics, or computer and information science (CMIS).

Students may be barred from enrollment in courses for which they do not have the necessary prerequisites.

In mathematics and foreign languages courses build on specific knowledge gained by students in previous courses, and thus a student may not receive credit for a course that is a prerequisite for a course already completed.

Course numbers are designated as follows:

000-099	Preparatory courses
100-199	Primarily freshman courses
200-299	Primarily sophomore courses
300-399	Junior and senior courses
400-499	Junior and senior courses acceptable toward some graduate degrees

Students enrolling in 300/400-level courses are expected to have writing and study skills commensurate with junior/senior-level work.
