Course Numbering

FPCC is cooperating with the Montana University System is moving to common numbering for all undergraduate courses. This catalog reflects that objective.

All public colleges and universities in Montana will use the same subject abbreviations or rubric (the letter codes that indicate the course subject), numbers and titles for courses taught on more than one campus. For ease of transfer into the Montana University System, FPCC will also utilize the common course numbering system.

While FPCC course name and numbers will change, however, course content will NOT change as a result of this process. Numerous disciplines have already undergone common course numbering as reflected in the course descriptions and the process is ongoing.

The course acronym (e.g., WRIT) indicates the department (Writing) and number (101) indicates the level of the course.

Courses numbered from:

100 to 199 are freshman level
200 to 299 are sophomore level
