UCSB 2009-2010 Catalog Course Search
Search by subject area and course number. Refer to this list of subject areas and their corresponding department.
Tip: A search for the subject area, for example, querying just "HIST" (without quotes), will return all courses of the queried subject area. Searching using subject area and number, such as "HIST 17" (without quotes), would return all courses in the series; in this example that would include HIST 17A, 17AH, 17B, etc.
