Course Rotation Schedule

NOTE: This is a tenative work in progress (as of April 2024), do not rely on it yet for your course schedule planning.

In the table below "Fall Odd" means the course is offered in the fall semester on odd-numbered years. Note that "Spring Even" would be the semester immediately following "Fall Odd", since the year changes.

Other course numbers such as special topics or seminars, and research, thesis, and dissertation hours, are not listed.
