NotesThe first digit of NSU course numbers identifies the student status level for which the course is primarily intended (1000s primarily for freshmen, 2000s primarily for sophomores, 3000s primarily for juniors, and 4000s primarily for seniors). The last digit identifies the number of credit hours for which the course is offered; zero indicates multiple offerings for varying credit hours. Higher-numbered courses are to be taken after development of strong critical thinking, communication, and study skills in the General Education requirements as well as a solid knowledge base in Psychology in lower-numbered Psychology core requirements. Students should not enroll in courses more than one level above student status (that is, freshmen should not attempt 3000- and 4000-level courses, and sophomores should not attempt 4000‑level courses) without consultation with the advisor.
