Course Descriptions

Our lectures for each course are held every second weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM. We designed this schedule to give you enough time to complete assignments as well as attend to your family, work, and other responsibilities.

The lab course MINT 708 runs during the Fall term and requires you to attend a one hour class three days a week. This course (MINT 708) is also offered again in May for two weeks (pre-requisites apply).
