An explanation of the first digit of the four digit course numbering system for courses listed in this bulletin follows:
2000-2999 • For undergraduate students, sophomore-level or above; for undergraduate credit only.
3000-3999 • For advanced undergraduate students, junior- level and senior-level; for undergraduate credit only. These courses constitute the advanced portion of an undergraduate program leading to the bachelor’s degree. A student with fewer than 60 hours of credit may enroll in 3000-level courses only with permission of the dean of the college offering the course and the dean of the student’s college.
4000-4999 • For advanced undergraduate students (those who have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours) and students in graduate and professional schools and colleges; for undergraduate or graduate credit. Undergraduates with 30 or more semester hours who are making timely progress toward a degree may be admitted to 4000-level courses. Such students must have a 3.50 gpa or higher, the appropriate prerequisites, consent of the instructor, and permission of the dean of the student’s college.
5000-5999 • For students in post-baccalaureate professional programs (law and veterinary medicine). A student in the Graduate School may take these courses for credit with approval of the student’s major department.
6000-6999 • Exclusively for teachers at the elementary, secondary, and junior college levels.
7000-7999 • For students in the Graduate School; for graduate credit only except as follows: Undergraduates with 75 or more semester hours who are making timely progress toward a degree may be admitted to 7000-level courses. Such students must have a 3.50 gpa or higher, the appropriate prerequisites, consent of the instructor, and permission of their undergraduate dean. Credit so earned will apply only toward undergraduate degree requirements, except for students enrolled in an accelerated master’s degree program.
8000-8999 • Research courses exclusively for graduate students, primarily for students working toward the master’s degree; for graduate credit only. The number 8000 designates thesis research.
9000-9999 • Research courses exclusively for graduate students, primarily for advanced graduate students working toward the doctoral degree; for graduate credit only. The number 9000 designates dissertation research.
