Course Numbering Information

Since September 1953, the following numbering system has been in effect:

Course Numbering	Numbering Definition
10000-29999	* Lower-division courses - normally scheduled for freshmen and sophomores
30000-49999	* Upper-division courses - normally scheduled for juniors and seniors
50000-59999	Dual-level courses - may be scheduled by juniors, seniors and graduate students for graduate credits
60000-69999	Graduate-level courses - Undergraduate student may take a 600-level course upon graduate office approval
80000-89999	Professional-level courses - Professional degree courses (i.e. DPHARM - Doctor of Pharmacy; DVM - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine)

*Classification of Undergraduate Students

**Prior to September 1953, courses designated by letter rather than number (e.g., English A) were non-credit. Courses numbered 1 through 99 were primarily for undergraduate credit. Courses numbered 100 through 199 enrolled advanced undergraduate and some graduate students. Courses numbered 200 through 299 were for graduate students.

001-049 - Precollege and deficiency courses - no longer taught at Purdue University

050-099 - Nondegree courses (e.g., agriculture short courses) - no longer taught at Purdue University
