Open Class Lists

The open class lists are below. Please click on "Alphabetical Open Class List" and "DEC Open Class List" to review the updated copies as of May 16, 2011. Please be advised that the class offerings are subject to change, and some classes with only a few open seats may be closed by the time you attend orientation.

You can search for classes using the two Open Class Lists below. Use the Fall 2011 Program Planning Worksheet to write down the class in the correct university time periods. The Open Class Lists are arranged by:

  • Alphabetical Open Class List - Courses arranged in alphabetical order by department. Begin to select courses listed under your intended major.
  • DEC Open Class List - Courses arranged by DEC and Skill categories, the general education curriculum courses. If you are transferring less than 50 credits, you likely have satisfied some the DEC requirements. In preparation for orientation, identify a few DEC B, C, D, E, F & G classes that interest you. You can also look at DEC H, I, J and K classes, though these are typically upper-division classes (300 level or higher) that you take later in your junior and senior years.

    If you are transferring more than 50 credits you have satisfied several of the DEC requirements. In preparation for orientation, identify a few DEC G, H, I J, & K classes that interest you. Refer to the Degree Requirement Checklist for the DEC category descriptions.
