2008-2009 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.

Please note that with the creation of the International and Global Affairs (IGA) concentration this year, many courses (particularly those in the former ENR, ISP, and STP areas) have been renumbered to new areas.
