Click the filter title to expand the filter options or click Additional Search Filters to see more filters. Select the desired filter options and/or enter keywords and click Search, or click the magnifying glass to the right of the keyword search box. Results will appear below the keyword search box.
After performing a search, you may wish to further narrow the results before selecting a class. Most filters will now show only values that are contained in your search results. For example, if you initially searched for all classes in the subject MATH, you will now see only instructors teaching a MATH class (or a class that is cross-listed with MATH) in the Instructors filter. You may add one or more filter values, then click Filter Results. Uncheck one or more filter values and click Filter Results to go back to your previous results list. To start over, click the New Search button.
Undergraduates: To find all courses that meet particular general education requirements such as Communication Intensive courses or Capstone courses, use the Degree Requirements filter.
