Upper vs. Lower Division

[Audio]

I'm assuming that a 1st or 2nd year course is a lower div. course and a 3rd or 4th year course is upper. Is this correct?

I put all of my classes as upper division courses - i think lower division means if you took classes at community college or a tech school - the 'easy' stuff.

You think I'm going to include O CHEM as 'lower' level? - yeah, right!

get someone else's opinion - people don't trust me around here

At my school 100-299 level classes are lower division. 300-up are considered upper division. So that makes O-Chem lower division at my University. If you don't know for sure, ask your registrar. Most universities have requirements, such as 40 upper division credit hours (semester based system).

Agreed w/this post. Lower division= 100-200 level courses...
Upper division= 300-400 level courses

REGARDLESS of whether you took them at CC or 4 yr. institution.

Upper Division generally does apply to those courses that you take your 3rd and 4th year. At my school (a UC) the classes are designated by their number as lower division (#1-99) and and upper division (#100-199); Grad courses are above 200.

You definitely take lower division courses at a four year university. Inorganic Chemistry and Intro Biology (the ones you need for pre-reqs) are all lower division. But, yes, O-Chem is considered upper division (at least at my school - MCDB 109) But the numbering is different at different schools, so it would be best to check out your course catalog, or possibly look at a copy of your transcript.

I had a question about this as well. My school doesn't even label courses as lower or upper division. They never have (which I always thought was odd). I'm definitely labeling all of my intros as lower levels, but I'm not sure about the upper level courses. Even worse, my school is going through a renumbering system now (because of this problem), and when I list future courses, I will have some courses on the old system and some on the new. What would you do in this situation?
