Numbers Preceding Course Titles
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for an academic discipline, subject matter, and/or sub-category of knowledge. The first digit next to the abbreviation (course prefix) represents the level of the course: 1 for Freshman, 2 for Sophomore, 3 for Junior, 4 for Senior, 5 for the Fifth year in Engineering and Pharmacy, 6 for the Sixth year in Pharmacy, and 7 or 8 for the Graduate level. The next two digits represent the sequence number of the course.

Numbers following course titles
Under “Course Descriptions,” most course titles are followed by a numbering system that provides further information, as follows: The first number indicates lecture and discussion hours given each week; the second number indicates laboratory hours per week; and the third number indicates credit hours counted toward graduation upon completion of the course.
Example: BIO806 Research Methods II [1-6, 3 cr.]
The course above entails one hour of class discussion and six hours of laboratory work per week. Upon completion, the course adds three credits to the student’s record.
