Course Numbering
Each course is represented by four capital letters followed by a four-digit numeral (e.g., ACCT 3301 Accounting for Non-Accnt Mjrs). The letters form an abbreviation for the instructional area while the numeral is interpreted as follows:
First Digit: The first digit indicates academic level and provides information regarding restrictions as to undergraduate and/or graduate student enrollment:
- 1000 level courses: undergraduate lower division, usually considered a "freshman-level" course.
- 2000 level courses: undergraduate lower division, usually considered a "sophomore-level" course.
- 3000 level courses: undergraduate upper division, usually considered a "junior-level" course.
- 4000 level courses: undergraduate upper division, usually considered a "senior-level" course.
- 5000 level courses: graduate courses.
Second Digit: The second digit generally indicates the amount of credit awarded. For example, a course numbered 4331 carries three semester hours of credit.
Third and Fourth Digits: The third and fourth digits are used to distinguish between courses within an instructional area.
