Course renumbering
Starting Fall 2024, all Concordia Univeristy Wisconsin and Concordia Univeristy Ann Arbor courses will transition from 3-digit numbers to 4-digit numbers in order to add logic to the numbering of our courses. The new numbering system will provide students, faculty, and staff a greater understanding of their program curriculum, scheduling, and advisement.

Course numbering logic
Courses numbered 0000-0999: Undergraduate courses to strengthen academic competencies; do not count toward degree.
Courses numbered 1000-1999: Introductory and general education undergraduate courses that are appropriate for first year students. Minimal prerequisites.
Courses numbered 2000-2999: Lower level undergraduate courses. These courses are ideally taken by second year students. Minimal prerequisites.
Courses numbered 3000-3999: Upper level undergraduate courses. These courses are normally in the major and are ideally taken by third or fourth year students. Prerequisites often required.
Courses numbered 4000-4999: Advanced upper level undergraduate courses including seminars, internships, capstone courses. Some 4000-4999 courses are available as graduate credit.
Courses numbered 5000-5999: Introductory graduate or first year graduate courses. These courses can be part of graduate "core" requirements. Undergraduate prerequisite courses may be required.
Courses numbered 6000-6999: Upper level graduate courses. Prerequisites may be required.
Courses numbered 7000-7999: Graduate level practicum, internship, portfolio, thesis & capstone courses. Prerequisites may be required.
