How to Read Course Numbers



Course Numbers


     
Each course is designated by a Subject Code and a six-digit number. The Subject Code represents the teaching unit offering the course (e.g., ANTH-xxx Anthropology). The middle three numbers identify the level of the course as follows:

xxx 001 - xxx 099 = no degree credit
xxx 100 - xxx 499 = undergraduate courses
xxx 500 - xxx 599 = graduate courses to which
                                undergraduate students may be
                                admitted
xxx 600 - xxx 799 = graduate courses to which
                                undergraduate students usually are
                                not admitted

The last three digits are the section number.

EXAMPLE:
ANTH-110G 001 Culture: The Human Mirror 3:1

ANTH = Teaching Unit Prefix
110 = Course Number
G = counts towards General Education requirements
001 = Section Number
3 = General Education Curricular Area
1 = General Education Level

Information on General Education areas and levels for undergraduates admitted for Fall 1989 or after may be found at the General Education Program home page.
