Understanding Course Listings
The first number in the course number designates the level of the course — a lower number means less background knowledge or experience is expected — and not necessarily the year in which a course must or should be taken. After the course number and title, a short description of the content, requirements, and/or skills is provided. After the description, prerequisites — if any — the amount of time and type of class meetings, and credit hours are provided. Lastly, abbreviations of any core requirements fulfilled by the course are provided. The abbreviations are:
