Class Offerings (tentative)

Below is a tentative list of 300- and 400-level class offerings and their prerequisites in paranetheses. Please see a faculty member for clarification and verification.

There are several sections on this page. The first gives our current plan of offerings, usually the current academic year and the one following. The second section gives the general plan that we try to follow. The third section contains the offerings of previous academic years (since this page was formed) for historical purposes.

* NOTE: MA445: Advanced Linear Algebra is now typically offered every THIRD SEMESTER.
