Class Levels

Course Numbers Indicate Class Level & Difficulty

Course numbers indicate the difficulty level of the course.

Generally, 100 series courses are considered freshmen-level, 200 series are sophomore, 300 junior, and 400 senior-level.

Often higher-level classes will have other classes as prerequisites.

Success Tip

Don't take 300 or 400-level courses your first year. After you've succeeded in getting good grades at lower-level courses, then take higher-level classes. Most 300 or 400-level courses have prerequisites, but not all. Make sure you understand the difficulty level before signing up for a class!
