        UPPER LEVEL COURSE ROTATION

    Not all courses are offered every semester. When you plan your Junior and Senior years, you need to be aware of our Course Rotation. You should especially be aware of which courses are offered every other year. The good news is that this scheme allows us to offer a wider variety of courses. The bad news is that you have to take a particular course when it comes around. So, map out your Mathematical Sciences courses for your Junior AND Senior years now!! You can certainly change your plans as time moves along, but you should certainly note those courses which you know you want/need to take. Above all -- SEE YOUR ADVISOR!! HE/SHE KNOWS ALL!!

    Note that MA 107, ST 110, MA 151, ST 210, MA 251, and MA 252 are offered every semester.
