2009-2010 Course Listing

The course listing is an online catalog, offering course descriptions, information on the faculty, syllabi (if posted by the faculty), as well as course meeting times and locations. Note that course offerings vary from year to year, and those marked with an asterisk are not currently on offer. You can search courses by subject area, semester or keyword.

Changes in Course Numbers: Courses previously numbered  "STM " ("Strategic Management  of Public Organizations"  or "PAL" ("Political Advocacy and Leadership")  have been renumbered to either :

MLD: Management, Leadership and Decision Sciences; or
DPI: Democracy, Politics and Institutions

In addition some courses previously in API (Analysis of Policies and Institutions) and NPS ( Non Profit Sector)  have also been renumbered to one of the above areas. Please see the Course Number Conversion Chart.

Current students login to SPARKS to register for courses.

Note: You may not register for courses with final exams scheduled at the same time. The draft final exam schedule is created at the same time as the course schedule so that you can check to avoid this conflict. Please review the exam schedules before registering for your classes.
