CS Courses
The table below lists all currently offered CS courses, when they are normally offered, which programming languages are normally used, and links to the most recent syllabus for each faculty member who has recently taught the course.
For each course, an indication is given whether the course is normally offered in the fall, spring, summer, or some combination. If there are no "Y" for a course, it is offered as needed. For courses listed as "even" or "fall", the course is offered only in even (or odd) numbered years. Courses that are normally taught online as distance courses in a given semester are marked "Y/D". All courses are 3 credit hours unless otherwise noted.
