Significance of Course Numbers

Courses numbered from 100 to 499 are open to undergraduates. In general, courses numbered 100-199 are taken in the freshman year, courses 200-299 in the sophomore year, courses 300-399 in the junior year, and courses 400-499 in the senior year. There are, however, some variations in this placement according to curriculum and other factors.

Courses numbered from 500 to 599 are graduate courses open to qualified seniors for undergraduate credit by permission of the appropriate chairperson and the Graduate Studies Office.

Courses numbered from 600 to 699 are open to graduate level students only.
