Course Coding System of Credit Hours
The course descriptions include the notation of three digits in parentheses (x = y + z), which, from left
to right, represent the total number of credit hours, the number of lecture credit hours, and the number
of laboratory credit hours. The total number of credit hours “x” equals the number of lecture credit
hours “y” plus the number of laboratory credit hours “z” and describes the proportions of a course that
are dedicated to lectures and labs. As an example, the course FES 232 Physical Science I (3 = 2 + 1) is a
three-credit course with two-thirds of the course dedicated to lectures and one-third dedicated to labs.
