Course Numbering

Courses numbered 001-099 are pre-freshman and special undergraduate courses, and do not carry bachelor’s degree credit. Those numbered 100-299 are lower-division undergraduate courses, and those numbered 300-399 are upper-division undergraduate courses. The 400-level courses are generally limited to juniors and seniors majoring in that field, but are open to other advanced undergraduates and graduate students with permission.

The 500-level courses are graduate courses for which a bachelor’s degree is usually a prerequisite, but qualified seniors and honors students are admitted with permission. These courses should make up the majority of course work for students working toward a master’s degree. Courses at the 600 level are advanced graduate courses. The 900-level courses are special types of graduate courses for which no degree credit is given. They include courses offered to remedy deficiencies as well as workshops, institutes, and courses offered one time only by visiting faculty.

Courses with two numbers—e.g., GER 113, 114—indicate a year’s sequence; generally, the first course is a prerequisite for the second and the two cannot be taken in reverse order without special permission. Parentheses after a course number enclose either the old course number or, in cases of multiple listings, the departments and numbers under which the course is also offered. The Arabic numeral indicates the credit hours, and distribution of class hours each week is in parentheses. S/U credit signifies a course in which only satisfactory or unsatisfactory grades are given. Courses that meet general education requirements are designated with a letter in parentheses indicating the appropriate group, as follows:

(A) Fine Arts and Literature

(FC) Foreign Language/Cross-Cultural Competence

(L) Letters

(EC) English Communication (General)

(ECw) English Communication (Written)

(MQ) Mathematical and Quantitative Analysis

(N) Natural Sciences

(S) Social Sciences

Courses that meet the general education diversity requirement are designated with a [D].
