Back to Menu Course Offerings At least half of the student's courses must be seminars. These are indicated by the S following the course number. Registration requires the instructor's approval. The particular offerings for each semester are determined by the needs of the students, the available faculty, and the requirements of the course.
Frequency is noted, whenever possible, in the course description.
