Special Topics Courses

Special topics courses (195, 295, 395) provide flexibility in the curriculum to meet a variety of situations. Courses may be designed to meet the interests of a group of students, to fit the talents of a visiting professor, to study a current problem, or to meet similar educational situations. Special topics courses may be offered in any department and are normally semester-long courses for two or four credits. Special topics may also be offered, however, as short courses by visiting professors for one or two credits. Special topics courses offered are listed in the registration material for each semester.
