Important
Before enrolling in courses, students must consult with the graduate
degree program office, the director of graduate study in a degree area,
or a primary thesis or dissertation advisor. As part of that process, all
students develop a “plan of study” which is approved by the degree
program. The plan of study looks ahead at all of the courses (e.g.,
prerequisite, core, optional) required to complete a degree. Since some
courses are offered on a rotating basis, it is important to know when a
given course will be offered. Be sure to ask!
