UC Davis General Catalog 1997-98

The UC Davis General Catalog is the primary source of curricular information for enrolled students and for people interested in attending UC Davis. The catalog includes detailed course listings for all academic departments in the three colleges and the four professional schools, along with the requirements for all of the minors and the major degree programs offered. It also covers admission, registration, and academic regulations and describes student services and activities available on campus and in the Davis community.

About the Online Catalog

This online version of the UC Davis General Catalog is provided as a convenience to the campus and the general public. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in the online General Catalog; however, the official version of the General Catalog is the printed edition prepared by the Office of the Registrar and Editorial/Design and sold by the UCD Bookstore.

All courses, courses descriptions, instructor designations, curricular and degree requirements, deadlines, and fees described herein are subject to change or deletion without notice.

Further, this is an archival document, and will not reflect changes that may take place during the period between official publications. Approved changes to courses are published in the quarterly Class Schedule and Room Directory and the Fall Supplement. An HTML file of these changes is available by clicking on the "COURSE UPDATES" buttons located at the beginning of each department's list of courses. You can link to many departmental Web sites for additional information about faculty, programs and classes.

Note: The departmental Web sites referenced in the catalog department addresses are maintained by independent operators and do not necessarily reflect approved curricular and course information.
