Dear Students,

Here is an “informal”, “provisional” schedule (by instructor) for upper-level RELI classes that may be taught in Spring 2015.

Informal means: this information represents my personal understanding at present of what will probably be taught rather than an official university statement.

Provisional means: the information here may well change, i.e., you cannot bank on this information being correct and it may not be complete.

Please note that this list does not include language courses or lower level courses such as RELI 1001, RELI 1008, RELI 2004H etc.

 

If you have completed 80+ hours, then you are encouraged to schedule a grad check here.

For information about individual faculty members, see here.

For information about what categories a given course fulfills, see here.

For the CAPA description of various courses, see here.

Syllabi for past courses and current courses can often be found here.

 

I have also included the categories that each course can fulfill below:
