For convenience, the graduate courses listed below are divided into
different areas:
Although students often specialize in one of these areas through a
combination of the courses and their research, students are encouraged to
take courses from several areas. In addition, some courses include
elements from several areas but have been shown in only one. (There
are several courses listed with the number CE 397. This is a general
number that is used for any courses the first few times that it is
offered.) For more information
about each of these courses, please check the online syllabi.
