There are different ways to look at the departmental course offerings:
- The Official Arts and Science Calendar. This is the authoritative source, telling you what courses are offered, and what prerequisites they require. However, this document won’t tell you whether a given course is actually being offered.
- Use the Arts & Science time-table. This tool allows you to look up which courses are being offered in a given term, but won’t tell you about those which are not offered. Note, you have to enter the name of our Department to use this tool.
