Core and Advanced Graduate Courses: Definitions and Schedules

The table below constitutes the current working definition of the term core graduate course. A graduate course not appearing on this list will be called an advanced graduate course. Plese refer to the full list of Mathematics courses 4000 and above.

To increase the predictability and the enrollment for core graduate courses, we will try to stay with the a prescribed Fall/Winter schedule for core graduate courses. Advanced graduate courses may be offered on a less predictable basis.

Advanced graduate courses include three subclasses:

• Topics courses (title includes the word "Topics"). Examples include 8102, 8302, ...
• Seminar courses (title includes the word "Seminar"). Examples include 9187, 9287, ...
• Other advanced courses (title does not include either of the words "Topics" or "Seminar") . Examples include 8642, 8680, 8616, 8629,...

During the transition, some courses that ran during Fall 06 may be opened for pre-registration in Winter 07. If there is sufficient pre-registration, the course will be repeated in WS06, otherwise it will not run again until WS07.
Courses listed with ?? are courses that have traditionally had low enrollment, and might not run in a given year if pre-registration is low.
If enrollment allows, we will eventually try to put some of the advanced graduate courses on a more predictable Fall/Winter schedule.
