Course Numbers
An alphabetic prefix containing four characters is used to designate the subject area of the course. Following the prefix is a four-character numeric code. The first digit denotes the academic level or year in which the courses are usually taken. The number “1” indicates freshman or first year courses; the number “2” indicates sophomore or second year courses. When the first number is “0”, the course is developmental level. The second digit represents the semester credit hour value of the course. The third and fourth digits are for subject sequencing with higher numbers used for more advanced courses and lower numbers used for less advanced courses. In the course description section, the two figures in parentheses after each course title indicate the number of lecture hours each week and the number of laboratory hours each week during a sixteen (16) week semester.
