Course Information

Each course carries a three-digit number. The second and third digits are used within Colleges in sequence. They indicate lab or lecture, area identification and prerequisite courses. The first digit in the number indicates the college year when the course should be taken. Courses numbered in the 100s are normally taken by freshmen, 200s by sophomores, 300s by juniors, and 400s by seniors, 500s by seniors with special approval and graduate students, 600s and 700s are by graduate students only.

Note: Common Course Numbering and Descriptions are identical courses at any of the SD Regental Institutions (BHSU, DSU, NSU, SDSM&T, SDSU, and USD) offering those courses. The unique courses are only offered at Black Hills State University.
