Classification of Courses
Numbering System
The college course-numbering system is as
follows:
099 noncredit courses
100–200 freshman- and sophomore-level
courses
300–400 junior- and senior-level courses
Courses offered at
the 100 level and 200 level are deemed to be introductory in nature, requiring
little or no prerequisite disciplinary preparation in terms of skill or
knowledge for student entry into and subsequent success in the course. Courses
at the 300 level and 400 level are deemed to be more advanced, frequently
requiring prerequisite disciplinary or skill preparation for student entry into
and subsequent success in the course. Responsibility for recommending
appropriate course levels lies with the department offering the course; if
initially endorsed by the appropriate school, the recommendations are forwarded
through the schools to the Academic Council for approval for inclusion in the
College Catalog
