English Course Level And Numbering

• Lower Division

• Upper Division

• English as a Second Language

Lower-division English courses (100-200 level) are designed as introductions to the subject. Upper-division English courses (300-400 level) are more particularly focused and assume the student has the background specified by the course prerequisites. There is no difference in degree of difficulty or specialization between 300 level and 400 level courses; students should not assume, therefore, that a 400 level course is more advanced than one at the 300 level.
