Tentative Course Offerings
This is a list of courses tentatively planned for Academic Year 2026-27. Please check back often to see if there are changes to our offerings. For a description of these courses please see Cal Poly's Course Catalog. REMEMBER! The only way to get credit for an honors course is if you register under HNRS. Just because a course is cross-listed does NOT mean it is an honors section. Honors sections are only honors sections if you can enroll under HNRS. Otherwise it is NOT an honors section and you will not get honors credit for the course.
