Welcome to the Graduate SchoolGraduate Course RenumberingDuring the 2007-2008 academic year we will be renumbering the graduate courses, moving from a 3-digit catalog number to a 4-digit catalog number. The default numbering scheme is to simply add a 5 in front of all 300-level courses and a 6 in front of all 400-level classes. Many programs are taking the opportunity to reorder their courses into a more logical sequence. The Excel spreadsheet containing the final changes is here (812 KB). If you need to make any changes or corrections, please contact Jim Henkel.
