English Course Level And Numbering
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.
