Course Catalog

The Course Catalog includes a complete listing of all currently approved active courses.

Effective with the Summer 2011 term, our catalog courses converted from a 3-digit to a 4-digit course prefix and number. For reference purposes, a crosswalk has been created for the 4-digit codes and the corresponding 3-digit codes used in the old registration system.

• Course Catalog - Includes crosswalk sorted by 4-digit prefix and number
• Course Catalog - Includes crosswalk sorted by 3-digit prefix and number
