UNC School of Information and Library Science

The following list of courses in the curriculum of the School of Information and Library Science give the term in which the courses were last taught, and an indication of the frequency in which the courses are generally taught.

Although knowing the likely frequency with which a course may be taught can be valuable in planning an academic program, students are advised that the charted frequency of offering a particular course is not guaranteed and is based primarily upon course offerings in general over the past five year. In any given year there is no assurance that actual scheduling will adhere to the frequencies given in this list. A number of variables including faculty availability, student interest and enrollment, demand for competing courses, and summer offerings can have an impact on courses actually offered in each term. Students are urged to consult with their advisors when making long-term plans. Questions about course frequencies or scheduling should be directed to your advisor or the Associate Dean.

A = offered annually

B = offered biennially
