COURSES ARE GROUPED INTO NUMBER SERIES INDICATING THE LEVEL AT WHICH THEY ARE PRESENTED

100-299 LEVEL COURSS LOWER DIVISION COURSES;
APPLICABLE TO BACHELOR DEGREES

These courses are designed primarily for freshmen and sophomores, but may be taken by others.  They provide breadth of understanding and the foundation for more specialized work in upper division, advanced courses.  Such courses are usually general, introductory, basic, beginning or survey in nature.

300-399 LEVEL COURSES
UPPER DIVISION, INTERMEDIATE COURSES;
APPLICABLE TO BACHELOR DEGREES

These courses are designed for sophomores and above, although in some circumstances freshmen may qualify to enroll.  300-399 level courses generally assume prior knowledge or experience in the subject, are more advanced than lower-division courses, and frequently have prerequisites.

400-499 LEVEL COURSES
UPPER DIVISION, AVANCED COURSES;
APPLICABLE TO BACHELOR DEGRES

These courses assume a greater degree of complexity than intermediate level courses, require a high degree of disciplinary sophistication or high degree of specificity in content, and assume considerable “prerequisite” knowledge and experience.

Courses transferred to Kernel University for which credit is sought are evaluated and given credit, where appropriate, on the basis of the course numbering criteria given here.

Community college courses do not qualify for upper division credit.  Only lower division credit will be given to all transfer courses from community colleges.

900-000 LEVEL COURSES

Courses designed to provide opportunities to pursue cultural, intellectual, and social interests.  These courses include specialized workshops, seminars, and institutes.
