Corequisites → a student may not continue in a course after dropping a corequisite course prior to the last day of the midsemester examination period.Of the 7000-level courses, those numbered in the 7200's, as well as 7343, 7363, 7383, 7398, and 7411 are offered every year; 7353 and 7373 every other year. All other courses are offered sporadically as interest demands and in order to provide a varied curriculum.
