Course Information
Courses are listed by subject area.
The subject abbreviation designates the department/subject area and subdiscipline within that area. The set of three numbers refers to the specific course within the subject area. For example, MUSC refers to the subject area, Music, and 143 refers to the specific course, Survey of American Jazz.
In any reference to a specific course, the full set of subject area and course numbers should always be used.
Course numbers 000-099 are courses that carry no units toward degree requirements. Courses numbered 100-299 are lower-division courses. Courses numbered 300-499 are upper-division courses which may be dual-listed as 500-699 for graduate unit. Courses at the 700 level are open only to graduate students.
A course number may occasionally have a letter suffix to designate that it is open only to students with a specific educational background preparation.
Cross-listing: A single course is offered for registration under two or more subject codes. The course is identical for everyone participating and has the same information (e.g. title, description, prereqs etc.) in the catalog. All cross listed courses are considered equivalent (see definition below).
Equivalency: A set of courses that, though not necessarily identical, serve the same purpose with respect to content, general education or program degree requirements. Equivalent courses are subject to the repeat policy, meaning they are treated as the same for repeats and grade replacement purposes.
Dual-listing: A course that is offered under the same subject code for registration at both the undergraduate level and at the graduate level. Three-hundred level courses are dual-listed with five-hundred level courses, and four-hundred with six-hundred level (e.g. 3XX/5XX or 4XX/6XX).
