Graduate courses are offered on a regular basis in some departments, as indicated in the course listings. However, all graduate courses are taught only upon sufficient demand. In the following course listing, each description contains a set of parentheses immediately preceding the semester hours. The first number within the parentheses indicates the number of contact hours per week in lecture, recitation, or seminar. The second number indicates the number of contact hours per week in laboratory.
