Recommended Courses 2007–2008
REMINDER: Be sure to check the University of Chicago Time Schedules for updated class locations, times, and any other changes. Some courses may have limited enrollments or prerequisites.
WARNING:
- History Department seminars often run for two quarters, but are designed (primarily for History Dept. Ph.D. students) as an independent research course in the second term. Please discuss coursework, grading, and the necessity of registration for both quarters of the course with the professor before committing to these seminars.
- Some Law School courses do not carry 100 units. You must register for a total of 300 units—no more, no less. Information regarding the number of units should be available on the University of Chicago Time Schedule.
