About Texas Tech course numbers:

  • It is important to note the first 2 numbers of the course numbers at Texas Tech.
    • The first number indicates the level of the course. For example, ANTH 1301 is a First year student level course (1st year), ANTH 2315 is a sophomore level course (2nd year), ANTH 3317 is a junior level course (3rd year), and ANTH 4310 is a senior level course (4th year). Any course that starts with a number higher than 4 is a graduate level course.
    • The second number dictates the credit hours of the course. For example ANTH 1301 is a 3 credit hour course (meets for 3 hours a week). ANTH 4640 is a 6 credit hour course (meets for 6 hours a week). For an undergraduate student, the minimum course credit (credit hour) load is 12 credit hours. For a graduate student, the minimum course load is 9 credit hours.
