Traditional Day Departments and Programs
Departments, Programs, and Courses of Instruction
Each department or program offering a field of major concentration has listed its requirements and recommendations under department listings in this catalog. Students will be held responsible for observing these directives to the satisfaction of the department or program which administers the major course of study.
The Registrar's Office published the Course Schedule each term on SpiritOnline. Students are required to review the Registration Schedules each term. Not all courses listed in this catalog are offered every term or every year. Some courses are offered every other year.
