The primary purpose of Bethel’s course number system is to identify the intended audience of each course, its level of content and material, and any necessary course background. Graduate School course numbers consist of a 4-letter discipline code, a 3-digit number, and sometimes a 1-letter suffix code.
Master's Level: 500–799
Doctoral Level: 800-899
