Essential Studies List

The following list is provided as a service to UNL students and advisers. The list has been taken from the 1996-97 Undergraduate Bulletin. An effort has been made to provide links to current course descriptions. In perhaps most cases no such documents exist on the WEB, and of course those that do exist are of a widely varying quality. If you find the course information too meager, notify the pertinent department or instructor. If you know of a link that should be added or corrected, please notify me: rgorman@unlifo.unl.edu. This information is subject to be changed without notice, nor is any guarantee made of its accuracy. Be sure to talk to your advisor before signing up for classes: What you don't know can hurt you!
