Listings marked with an * are "Programs of Study." These are groupings of courses that offer exposure to a particular area, often involving interdisciplinary study. These programs often can be taken in conjunction with or independent of a degree program. For matriculated (degree-seeking) students, completion of the program is noted on university transcripts. Non-matriculated students receive a certificate of completion.
