This pathway is one example of how you might complete the degree requirements, in an order that makes sense given prerequisites. It is meant to give you a general sense of what your education will look like.

Your unique situation and a number of other factors may mean your actual pathway is different. Perhaps you'll need an extra math or language class, or one of the courses we've listed isn't offered in a particular semester. Don't worry - there is flexibility built into the curriculum. You'll want to work closely with an advisor and use the academic advisement report to take all that into account and develop a pathway that's customized for you.
 
Please use this example as a starting point for choosing classes or discussing your plans with an advisor. Your advisor is your best resource for developing an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that includes the courses you need in the right sequence.
 
For additional information, please check the Advising Information page of the Liberal Studies Department website.
