Course Numbering System

Courses numbered below 100 are designed to meet the pre-college, vocational, or self-improvement needs of students.

Courses numbered 100-199 are normally designed for first- year college students and those numbered 200-299 are normally second-year courses. Freshman students with appropriate background or permission of the instructor may enroll in second-year courses during their freshman year.

Courses numbered 188 and 288 are reserved for one-time offerings and special projects; courses numbered 189 and 289 are used for individualized studies.

Courses numbered 300-399 are courses taken in the junior year of a bachelor’s program of study.

Courses numbered 400-499 are courses taken in the senior year of a bachelor’s program of study.

Courses numbered 388 and 488 are reserved for one-time offerings and special projects. Courses numbered 389 and 489 are used for individualized studies.
