Course Numbering

The number by which a course is designated is intended to indicate the relative level of the course. A student will generally choose courses within his/her classification but may electives courses of one rank above or below his/her classification upon the guidance of his/her academic advisor. The following numbering system should be useful to students in planning their respective programs:

Lower-Division Courses:

Freshman year represent courses numbered from 100 to 199.

Sophomore year represent courses numbered from 200 to 299.

Upper-Division Courses:

Junior year represent courses that are numbered from 300 to 399.

Senior year represents courses that are numbered from 400 to 499.

Courses that are numbered lower than 100, e.g., MATH 098, READ 095, do not count toward degree programs or graduation credit hours. Unless approved by the academic advisor, students pursuing an associate's degree are not authorized to enroll in upper-division courses.

A count of at least 40 semester credit hours of upper-division credits is required for the bachelor's degree.
