Course Prefixes are the letters that precede the course number and stand for an academic subject or department. Not all are obvious or intuitive. For example, App State's First Year Seminar course is UCO 1200. UCO stands for University College. Use this list of course prefixes to help you decipher the class schedule.
Pay very careful attention to the course prefix, number, and title. ENG 2050 is not the same as ENG 2010, even though the class titles are very similar. MAT 1001 is not the same as MAT 1010, even though the numbers are very similar.
