Hover over any course row (or tap it, on a phone or tablet) to highlight it. Course codes are clickable links to their official UTSA catalog description. A † marks a course whose number and/or title was corrected against the catalog; an ⓘ marks a course not currently found in the catalog -- hover the symbol for details, or see the footnote below.

The following are not listed in the 2025 catalog but have been approved for the 2027 catalog: MAT “Introduction to Optimization” (cross listed; closest current entry is MAT 6603 Optimization Techniques in Operations Research, not an exact title match); MAT “Quantum Information Theory” (cross listed); MAT “Mathematical Foundations of AI” (cross listed); MAT “Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Computing” (cross listed); MAT “Differential Geometry” (cross listed); and MAT “Math Physics II” (cross listed; the 2025 catalog lists only one Mathematical Physics course, MAT 5863, above).
