• UNC Charlotte General Education requirements that the
course satisfies (O = Oral Communication and W = Writing
Intensive), if any
• Prerequisites and/or corequisites (if any)

Course Numbering System.
Courses are identified by four-digit numbers. The first
digit indicates the level of the course:
1000-2999 = lower-division undergraduate
3000-4999 = upper-division undergraduate
The following second digits designate special types of
courses:
0 = topics
4 = internships and practicum
5 = cooperative education
6 = seminars
7 = Honors courses
8 = independent study
9 = research
Note: If the letter L follows the course number, the
course is a laboratory course.
Prerequisites
and Corequisites. A prerequisite is a requirement
that must be met (or a course that must be passed) before
enrolling in a more advanced course. A corequisite is a
course which should be taken in the same semester as
another.
Cross-listed Courses.
A cross-listed course is a single course which is
simultaneously listed in the schedule of course offerings by
two or more academic departments. They share the same
meeting times, room, instructor(s), and curriculum. Students
may only receive credit for the single section of the
cross-listed course for which they are registered.
Course Prefix. Courses
offered for academic credit are listed by number within each
subject and the subjects are listed alphabetically according
to prefixes which are assigned as listed on the following
page.
Changes. Course descriptions and numbers are accurate
at the time of publication of the Catalog. For the most
