Program, Course, and Subject

The name or title of a program consists of the degree (e.g., BS) and the discipline or field of study
(e.g., Business Administration). It is also called academic program, degree program, or curricular program.
A subject is a collection of topics that form a coherent whole, intended to be taught by a faculty member within a specific number of hours in a semester. The breadth and depth of the topics is designed to fill the mandated number of hours, spread out over 16 weeks of a semester. A subject is also referred to as a course.

In general, courses in the lower division (freshman and sophomore years) are numbered 1 to 99; courses in the upper division (junior and senior years) are numbered 100 to 200; and graduate courses are numbered 201 to 400. Courses numbered 301 and above are generally courses in the doctoral program.
