Special Topic Courses

Special Topic courses provide an opportunity for professors to offer a class of special interest. It may be in an area outside usual course offerings or it may be an intense, concentrated course on a specific area touched on more generally in other classes. For some courses, LinC approval may be awarded.

After a Special Topics has been successfully offered three times, the Art Department may request that the course be added to the regular course offerings for Art.
