Note: *This map assumes student has COMP 150 placement in Composition. Students with different placements must work with advisors to adjust the map.
Note: **At least 5 of the 7 Major Electives courses must be upper division (300- and 400-level).
Note: This map is a suggested course sequence. Please consult your academic advisor for alternate sequencing.
Note: Course choices may affect the number of free electives needed. In addition to major and LAC requirements, complete enough free electives to reach at least 120 total credits, including a minimum of 36 upper-division (300- and 400-level) credits.
Note: Students must earn 30 credits by the end of Year 1 to be classified as a Sophomore, 60 credits by the end of Year 2 to be a Junior, and 90 credits by the end of Year 3 to be a Senior. To meet these thresholds, some students may need to take additional credits beyond the suggested course sequence.
