L at the end of the description indicates that the course has a laboratory requirement. Courses with laboratories do not yield extra credit. The quarter in which the course is expected to be offered and the instructor's name also appear at the end of the description. The courses of study, known as concentrations, include both a narrative description of the concentration and an abbreviated summary of course requirements. Students should read the complete narrative descriptions because the summary necessarily eliminates essential information.
Some concentrations require research papers or other senior projects.
Students have the option of completing such projects even in concentrations in which they are not required.
