Abbreviations of Boulder Campus Degrees
Because the general trend is to omit periods from abbreviations, CU style
omits them from degrees. Boulder campus degrees currently granted (1999-2000)
in a given field are indicated in parentheses after the field name. Not
all degree fields are currently available as listed; those entries that
indicate a discipline only are listed for alumni publications purposes.
