Courses Taught

During the 1995-96 and 1996-97 academic years, the Department taught the following classes. For many courses, multiple sections were offered. (Due to sabbaticals and the fact that some advanced courses are taught every other year, this list will vary year-by-year. The full list of classes offered, along with capsule summaries of each course, is on line.)
