Course Coding System
The course coding system uses a maximum of eight characters. The first three letters identify the discipline, followed by four numbers to identify the particular course, and may be followed by an alphabetical suffix “P” to identify practicum courses. Course numbers in the 1000 and 2000 range indicate foundational courses designed to prepare students for more advanced coursework. Course numbers in the 3000 and 4000 range indicate upper division courses taken by students in their junior and senior levels.
