CMS Core Offerings, 2008-2010

The following schedule is a projection of anticipated offerings through Fall 2010. It is not a guarantee; all courses and times are subject to change. With the exception of JOUR 3011, the table includes only courses that are required for all CMS majors.

The complete course titles will print with this schedule.

A Note about Evening Classes

As is evident from the table below, the majority of CMS core classes are scheduled during daytime hours. Because of the limited number of CMS faculty, we are able to offer many of our core CMS courses only once a year. Student surveys have shown that most CMS majors prefer daytime classes, so we schedule those sections during the day.

This means that, for the foreseeable future, a student who can attend classes only at night cannot earn a CMS degree at Clayton State. Nighttime students do have other options to consider: for example an Integrative Studies major with a minor in CMS. Please contact your advisor for more information.
