Courses labeled with the second number as 100-400 are undergraduate level courses. 100- and 200-level courses indicate introductory courses, usually taken in the first or second year. 400-level courses are typically taken by undergraduate seniors but may count as credit for graduate students, as well. Courses labeled as 600 or above are graduate level courses.
