Lower Division and Upper Division Courses
Lower-division courses are generally 100 and 200 level classes that provide foundational knowledge and are commonly taken during the first two years of college.
Upper-division courses are 300 and 400 level classes that build on foundational coursework and focus on more advanced or specialized topics within a program of study. Because these courses are more advanced, they are charged at the upper-division tuition rate.
