Waldorf College Equivalents for Courses from
North Iowa Area Community College
(Prepared for the 2002-2003 NIACC Catalog)

Waldorf equivalents are designated with two sequences. The first sequence is three letters, which refer to the department; the second sequence is three numbers, which refers to the specific course. Introductory courses are generally numbered 100-199 and intermediate courses are numbered 200-299. Upper division courses are numbered 300-499. A course that has no direct equivalent is listed as a department elective and a course that is not accepted for credit is listed as no credit.

If a course satisfieds a Waldorf core curriculum requirement, the specific category is listed in the CC column.
