Elective Course Examples

The following list provides examples of MSR courses and links to the course pages provided by the administering department. This list is not exhaustive; there may be other appropriate courses listed on the other department pages or in CAESAR. The MSR program attempts to keep this list up-to-date based on each department's schedule of courses, but it may be out of date. It is always best to check the schedules with the departments or in CAESAR.
