The Khazar course numbering system is based on a set of abbreviations for the academic disciplines, and three-digit course number. Most courses at Khazar University are numbered according to the following plan:

• Primarily for pre-freshman courses 001-099
• For freshmen and sophomore undergraduate courses 100-199 and 200-299
• For advanced undergraduate and some graduate courses 300-399 and 400-499
• For Graduate Courses 500 and higher

(Please note that these are the general guidelines and individual Schools may have their own specific course numbering.)

Most of the advanced individual study and research courses are also numbered 500 or higher. With departmental and School consent, undergraduate students may enroll in 500-series courses for credit toward a bachelor's degree. With the approval of the major department, graduate students may take some courses numbered 300 or higher toward satisfying master's or doctorate degree requirements with additional course works, projects or independent study. Courses numbered 100-199 and 200-299 may not be applied toward graduate degrees. Courses are open to all students who have met the prerequisites indicated in the departmental requirements or the course description.
