A course in which registration is deemed insufficient may be withdrawn at the beginning of the semester without previous notice. Sophomores may take no more than three courses with the same course prefix, nor more than four in one department, during the full year. A student may take no more than a total of five courses with the same course prefix, nor more than eight in one department, during the first two years. The days of the week that courses meet are represented by the first letter of each day. Both faculty and students are sometimes eager to work in areas that cut across departmental and program lines.
Interdepartmental clusters are a new initiative designed around such areas of interest.
Clusters are listed in the catalog in alphabetical order. Current clusters are Jewish Studies, Latin American Studies, Leadership Studies, Materials Science Studies, and Performance Studies. Clusters are for educational purposes only, and will not appear on a student's transcript. Most have strictly limited enrollment. An asterisk following a course title indicates that the course may be used to meet the Peoples and Cultures Distribution Requirement.
