Interpretation of course numbers:
• 001-099 Below baccalaureate degree.
• 100-199 Introductory-level courses.
• 200-299 Introductory and intermediate courses, usually requiring some previous knowledge or experience in the discipline.
• 300-399 Courses with a more concentrated focus on the subject matter in a particular discipline.
• 400-499 Advanced courses for majors and other qualified students. See Note 3 below.
• 500-599 Graduate-level courses for the nonspecialist. See Note 1 below.
• 600-699 Graduate-level courses, also open to advanced undergraduates. See Notes 2 , 3 and 4 below.
• 800-899 Graduate-level courses.
• 900-999 Ph.D.-level courses.
• X66 Special problems and independent study.
• X67 Experimental course (may be offered twice).
• Note 1: Courses numbered 500 to 599 may not be taken for graduate credit in a student's major. With the approval of the graduate student's major department, 500-level courses taken outside the student's major may be counted toward graduate degree requirements.
• Note 2: Courses numbered 600 to 699 are graduate-level courses also open to qualified advanced undergraduates with the consent of the instructor. There should be a single standard of expectation and grading for all students registered at this level.
• Note 3: In those few cases where the number of either undergraduate students or graduate students does not permit adequate offerings of both a 400-level and a 600-level course, a graduate 600-level course may be combined with a separately numbered 400-level undergraduate course in the same section. The graduate component must then be offered with a graduate standard of expectation and grading.
• Note 4: The appropriateness of 600-numbered courses for undergraduate credit is subject to review by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
