These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.

This pathway, intended as a reference, shows a productive route to graduation in four years.  Your actual pathway may not look exactly like the model due to several factors:

  • Any required remedial courses, such as MATH 098 and WRT 095
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan, in consultation with your advisors

The Specific SSWE Concentration pathway and sequence of courses you follow will vary depending on the year you enter the program as some courses are only offered every other year. Regardless of when you enter the major, courses required for the SSWE concentration are consistently offered, and a pathway that will allow you to complete the degree within 120 will always be available. In order to determine your pathway, be sure to consult with the SSWE Concentration advisor when you enter the major.
