Course Descriptions

Combined Lecture+(L)ab or Lecture/(A)ctivity courses are listed together and must be taken as co-requisites. Parentheses specify (course units). The semesters/terms in which particular courses are typically offered are indicated by the F, Sp, Su notations. Optional recitation activity sections available for select courses are denoted by asterisks (e.g. A*). Fine print: some courses are not offered every year, and semester offerings are subject to change, so please check the up-to-date class schedules in BroncoDirect for registration availability.
