This table shows when courses were offered in the 2010-2011 academic year, and in fall of 2011. There
is no guarantee that they will be offered in the same quarter in the future, but courses tend to be offered
in the same slot year to year, so this is the best guide we have.
Note – Courses are not offered in a given year for various reasons at the departmental level. It is difficult
to predict when these courses will be offered again.
