All classes are identified with a two or three letter course prefix which corresponds to an academic subject. Not all course prefixes are obvious or intuitive, though. For example, the prefix for First Year Seminar is UCO, which stands for University College, and the prefix for First Year Writing is R C, which stands for Rhetoric and Composition. Here is a list of App State course prefixes and their subject description. Also, here is a list of Building Abbreviations.
