Reading Course Numbers
Each course is designated by a Subject Code and a six-digit number. The Subject Code represents the teaching unit offering the course (e.g., ANTH-xxx Anthropology). The middle three numbers identify the level of the course as follows:
xxx 001 - xxx 099 = no degree credit
xxx 100 - xxx 499 = undergraduate courses
xxx 500 - xxx 599 = graduate courses to which undergraduate students may be admitted
xxx 600 - xxx 799 = graduate courses to which undergraduate students usually are not admitted
The last three digits are the section number.
EXAMPLE:
