This is OT, but...
Course numbering varies by college/university, but I think typically 1xx, 
2xx, 3xx, and 4xx are aimed at students in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 majoring in 
that subject.  Pre-100 courses would be remedial or aimed or even limited 
to non-major students.  So a Math department might have 023 Business Math 
that would not count toward the math units needed to get a BS in math.
