Anticipated Graduate Course Schedule

Graduate Courses

The anticipated schedule for Graduate physics courses.

Please note that some classes are on a two-year rotation and some electives are added depending on instructor availability.
Please contact our Graduate Advisor Prof. Robert Camley (rcamley@uccs.edu) for the anticipated schedule.

 

Please note that classes are offered every other year. You must plan accordingly to make sure that you take classes when they are available. The tables below show when we anticipate offering courses.

The core courses should follow the schedule below unless there are exceptional circumstances. Electives are often determined only one or two semesters in advance, depending on faculty availability and student demand. However, we will try to keep close to the schedule below. This is meant as a general guide only.
