Course Numbering System
Courses carrying 1000 and 2000 numbers are lower division offerings, usually appropriate for the freshman and sophomore years of undergraduate study. Courses numbered at the 3000 and 4000 levels are upper division offerings, usually appropriate for the junior and senior years of undergraduate study.
In general, the following course numbering system is applied (X=digit from 0-9):
0XXX |
Developmental or supplemental level, providing foundations in basic skills, no degree credit granted, credits do not count towards GPA calculation. |
1XXX |
Introductory level, broad-based in nature, prerequisites usually not necessary. |
2XXX |
Intermediate level, the second course in a discipline, one prerequisite sometimes necessary. |
3XXX-4XXX |
Advanced levels, providing greater depth in a more defined area of scholarship, one or more prerequisites generally necessary. |
5XXX |
Graduate level. |
6XXX |
Graduate level. |
7XXX |
Graduate level |
8XXX |
