Explanation of Three-Part Course Numbers
The number preceding each course title is divided into three parts.
The first two digits are the administrative code (standing for a
faculty or a school), the next three digits are the subject code, and
the final three digits are the course code.
Administrative Codes
The following administrative codes are used for the divisions of
Rutgers in the College of Nursing section of this catalog. Administrative codes comprise the first two
digits in all course numbers.
01 School of Arts and Sciences–New Brunswick
05 Graduate School of Education-Undergraduate
11 School of Environmental and Biological Sciences
16 Graduate School–New Brunswick
21 Newark College of Arts and Sciences
25 College of Nursing
Subject Codes
A subject code indicates the subject matter of the course. Subject
codes comprise the third through fifth digits in all course numbers.
The subject code for nursing is 705.
Course Codes
The last three digits distinguish one course from another and also
indicate the educational level of the course. Course codes from 100 to
299 are used for introductory and intermediate courses; 300 to 499 are
used for advanced undergraduate courses, some of which may be taken by
graduate students toward an advanced degree. Graduate courses carrying
codes from 500 to 799 are described in the graduate catalogs of the
university.
Two course codes separated by a comma indicate
that each semester course may be taken independently of the other. Two
course codes separated by a hyphen (25:705:494-495) indicate
that satisfactory completion of the first semester course is a
prerequisite for the second semester; the first semester may be taken
for credit without the second, except if a statement is added to
indicate that both semester courses must be completed in order to
receive credit. Credits awarded for the successful completion of each course are indicated in parentheses following the course title. The notation BA indicates that the number of credits is determined by arrangement with the program offering the course.
