Sequence of Courses

Students shall enroll in courses according to the general numbering system:

  1. 100 Level Courses are designed for Freshmen

  2. 200 Level Courses are designed for Sophomores

  3. 300 Level Courses are designed for Juniors

  4. 400 Level Courses are designed for Seniors

  5. 500 Level Courses are designated as advanced undergraduate coursework. These courses may include specialized workshops, independent studies, and intensive field experiences that reflect degree-specific, upper-level academic rigor. 500-level courses are not graduate-level courses and should not be interpreted as fulfilling graduate degree requirements or as being equivalent to post-baccalaureate study

It is, therefore, expected that:

  1. 100 Level will be taken before 200 Level Courses

  2. 200 Level will be taken before 300 Level Courses

  3. 300 Level will be taken before 400 Level Courses

  4. All Lower Division Requirements should be completed by the time a student is in the junior year or has completed sixty (60) credits

  5. The sequencing of 500 Level Courses varies by department and academic program. Enrollment in 500-level courses may be subject to specific prerequisites, credit thresholds, class standing, or departmental approval, as determined by the academic department offering the course. Students should consult program requirements and academic advisors for guidance regarding appropriate timing of 500-level coursework.
