Course Descriptions
Florida Statewide Course
Numbering System

Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that
have been assigned in accordance with Florida's Statewide Course
Numbering System. This common numbering system is used by all
degree-granting public and participating private postsecondary
institutions in Florida. The major purpose of this system is to
facilitate the transfer of courses among participating institutions.

Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of
its own courses and assigns the first digit of the course number to
indicate the level at which students normally take the course. The
course prefix is a three-letter designator for a subject matter area and
is determined by the content of the course. Course prefixes and the
last three digits of the course numbers are assigned by members of
faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the
Florida Department of Education.

Exceptions to the General Rule
for Equivalency

The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course
equivalencies and may not be transferable. Transferability is at the
discretion of the receiving institution.

A. Courses with 900-999 as the last three digits in the
course number
B. Internships, selected topics courses, clinical experiences,
and study abroad courses
C. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance, Music and
Theater
D. Physical Education activity courses
E. Skills courses in Criminal Justice
F. Graduate courses

College-preparatory and vocational-preparatory courses may not be
used to meet degree requirements and are not transferable.

Headings and Prefixes
The headings given below are used to group courses in this
Catalog and in the Schedule of Credit Classes distributed prior
