Course Descriptions


The number system reflects the level of course material and associated rigor. With the exception of upper graduate level and professional courses, any prerequisite restrictions limiting the level of a student accepted into a course shall be specified in a course prerequisites. Courses shall be numbered as follows:

400G-499G Senior and first year graduate level course; graduate credit for non-majors only;
500-599 First year graduate level course; undergraduate and graduate credit;
600-799 Upper graduate level course; open only to graduate students;
800-999 Professional Programs course; open only to students in professional colleges and to students in other colleges offering professional degrees as defined by the Council on Postsecondary Education.
