The following section lists courses that are currently scheduled to be offered during the coming years. From the 2005-2006 academic year, you will find listings by academic quarter. These listings give detailed information about the quarter and time that each course will be offered and the faculty member scheduled to teach. These lists should help you plan your schedule around when the courses you need will be offered. Please keep in mind that many factors affect whether the Department can offer courses when we would like and with the faculty scheduled to teach our courses. Check this web site on a regular basis for up to date information on actual courses.

You will also find a new listing by course level. This list includes courses that were scheduled for 2005-2006. This list should help you plan your major so that you can get the courses that you need. We encourage students to take courses on the 100 and 200 levels before those on upper levels. Many of our upper level courses on the 400 and 500 level are offered every other year. To get the courses that you need, you need to plan ahead. Again, check this web site on a regular basis for up to date information.
