A graduate course is a course whose contents require a high level of cognitive processing, such as synthesis, conceptualizing, critical evaluation, and problem solving.
Most colleges and universities designate courses as upper or lower level, usually by a course-numbering system described on the transcript key or back of the transcript. If this information is not included, check your registrar's website or a course catalog.
500-600 level course designation Master-level graduate courses numbered 500-600 require a bachelor's degree and admission to a graduate program. 500 level course are more rigorous than undergraduate courses.
Courses are designated by two numbers, separated by a colon. The first number refers to the department or area of the course; the second number refers to the specific course. For example, in the course designated 600:111 the "600" refers to the Department of Art and the "111" refers to the course.
200-Level Courses Such courses are at an intermediate level of difficulty, and sometimes survey a subfield within a discipline. They often have a prerequisite at the 100-level.
300-level course designation Courses of advanced college-level difficulty taken by majors and upper division students; these are often considered to be courses in the Major, offered for students clearly interested and qualified in a subject.
Course Numbering System 1000 level. non–degree applicable. 1100 level. introductory course, open to all qualified students.
500- vs. A 500-level graduate course builds on advanced undergraduate and/or graduate courses, dealing with the frontiers of knowledge in the field. It is grounded in theories, hypotheses, and methodologies as expounded in current and/or primary literature sources.
Freshman level classThe first number indicates year (101 = Freshman level class) 101/Freshman, 201/Sophomore, 301/Junior, 401/Senior. Anything above these numbers is usually a graduate level course. The last two numbers indicate subject level relative to other classes offered in that department (ENG101 = Basic English course). 8.
Course level means the degree of difficulty or complexity of the content of a course in a specific subject area, such as an honors level course.
Level 1. Students at this level will be required to have GCSE grades D-F, preferably including English and Maths. Applicants will be required to undertake initial assessments in literacy and numeracy and attend an interview. This is a suitable level for students wishing to later progress to level 2.
101 is the most basic course in the first year, 102 would be in the first year but for someone who's already taken the subject in high school, etc.
