Although textbooks can be expensive, we will use them all year. We have opted for less expensive versions where possible (older editions, loose-leaf options, etc.). Students are required to have access to these texts for successful completion of the program. Used books or bookstore rentals are acceptable. The campus bookstore will have these books available, and most are readily available from online vendors.
