N.B. Some courses, particularly upper-level, graduate-level, and Engineering (EAEE) courses have pre-requisites. Consult the catalogue, your adviser, or the dept to ensure you’ve completed pre-requisites before finalizing your program. Courses in Environmental Health (EHSC) held at the School of Public Health campus, with the exception of P6300, have prerequisite of 2 years of Chemistry, 1 year of Biology and calc. To enroll in any International Affairs (SIPA) class, you prior approval from Dean Youngblood Giles at Beyond Barnard. Check the Directory of Classes for more info from Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Sustainable Development, and Urban Studies or any updates we may forward to you.

Steps for Registering for Classes

Fall 2020

As in the schedule above, please note that the curriculum includes courses over three semesters, as well as several immersive classes that will be offered over a 7-week period. Immersive courses will cover a semester's worth of material in a shorter number of weeks, meeting twice as many hours per week, allowing students to take fewer courses over the same semester with a more sustained focus on course content.

Full Fall semester courses will be held from Tuesday, September 8 through Wednesday, December 23, 2020.
Fall A semester courses will be held from Tuesday, September 8 through Friday, October 23, 2020.
Fall B semester courses will be held from Monday, October 26 through Wednesday, December 23, 2020.
