Current course cycles as of AY 2015-2016. Always subject to change, but generally only by adding more classes.
Summer course offerings are never guaranteed, as they are tied to faculty availability and budget. That said, the summer offerings have been quite stable for over five years.
Core major courses are intended to be offered in both Edinburg and Brownsville on the same schedule. Electives vary by enrollment and faculty availability.

Advanced elective classes are scheduled based on faculty availability, student interest, diversity and other concerns. Some are quite regular while others are offered sporadically.
To give a better picture, the advanced electives offered each semester going back to Fall 2013 are listed here. (E)dinburg and (B)rownsville are noted starting in Fall 2015. As our student enrollment increases on both campuses, we are able to offer more advanced electives.
Note that some of these courses are required by the UTB Legacy degree plan. Those courses will be offered every year to support that plan.
4341 is a topics course that varies offering to offering. It is used for one-time courses and to prototype new courses.
