Course scheduling plan
Required courses are in bold.
(E): the course is only offered in an EVEN CALENDAR YEAR. (Therefore, a spring semester course designated (E) will be offered in the 2003-04, 2005-06, etc., academic years.)
(O): the course is only offered in an ODD CALENDAR YEAR.
(Therefore, a spring semester course designated (O) will be offered in the 2004-05, 2006-07, etc., academic years.)
(xN), where N is an integer: N sections of the course are offered.

Graduate Courses
Note: Every 400-level undergraduate course has an associated 500-level graduate course. These associated courses have common classroom meetings. Except for courses 551/552 (Advanced Laboratory I/II), 588 (Selected Topics: Lagrangian Mechanics) and 598 (Colloquium), 500-level courses are meant to be taken only by graduate students who need to improve their proficiency in undergraduate-level material.
