Course Catalog

Here is the heart of the enterprise: the courses, programs and requirements that make up an Oxy education.

This online catalog includes changes made from the current official catalog. These changes become official and enforceable starting in the next fall semester. The catalog is subject to change during the course of the academic year.

Prospective students are advised not to request a catalog, but rather to request appropriate literature from the Admission Office (for undergraduates) and from the Graduate Office (for graduate students). For official policies and requirements in the current year, refer to the official catalog in PDF format.

Fees, tuition, programs, courses, course content, instructors, and regulations are subject to change without notice.
