Courses and Schedule

Course offerings in the Engineering Distance Education Program vary from semester to semester.

To find out what courses will be offered for your semester of interest, please use the Course Offerings Web Page. Choose the semester you are interested in (i.e., Spring 2004) and then your program of interest (i.e., Aerospace Engineering). Remember that all distance education course codes end in the number "6" (i.e., AERO-7206).

Courses Available through the Master of Civil Engineering Distance Education Program.
