Courses numbered 500 and above are graduate level courses. Graduate courses are more advanced and complex in academic content and more rigorous than undergraduate courses. Graduate-level course expectations exceed the expectations for undergraduate-level courses.

Course expectations are differentiated through assessment measures such as exams, written assignments, computational exercises, etc. Graduate-level course expectations may also include more advanced learning through additional and/or more sophisticated reading assignments, research projects, or course facilitation and experiential activities.
