Directory of Upper Level Math Courses

Course descriptions can be found in the University's Course Listing Book.  Sometimes syllabi from previous offerings of a course can be found under the “Courses” link on the Undergraduate Web Page.

A tentative schedule of courses for each semester should be available at the "Courses" link on the Undergraduate Web Page early in the preceding semester (sooner than they will be available via WebStac).

All courses listed as prerequisites should be passed with a grade of C or better. Stated prerequisites can always be replaced by "...or permission of the instructor."   However the stated prerequisites are generally a fair estimate of the background that is required and a weak performance in a prerequisite course may mean that a student will have difficulty with the next course.  Instructors have every "right" to expect students to be comfortable with the standard material from any prerequisite course.

Most courses are marked with the symbols F (Fall) or S(Spring) to indicate the semester when they are most likely to be offered.

            FS = “every semester”

            AF and AS denote alternate Fall or alternate Spring semesters.  

            Any courses not marked in this way are offered only irregularly.
