UNC and NCSU Courses - Fall 2009

updated 4/13/09

Here are some courses that might be of interest among Nicholas School students. This is not an exhaustive list. I have suggested some places to look for additional courses. It would be prudent to check on prerequisites and level of presentation before committing yourself. Also, check to make sure you are not duplicating a course you've already taken at Duke. (Remember that you can count up to 6 credits of 100-level courses [at NCSU 400-level] toward your 48 units.)

You may find that some of these classes are already full. They are included here so that you’ll be alerted to look for them again in the future.

UNC classes start on Tuesday, August 25, 2009
NCSU classes start on Wednesday, August 19, 2009
