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 Major Requirements Graduation Check.

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 Major Requirements Graduation Check, in consultation with your advisors

Students will need to consult with their advisor to discuss the appropriate courses for stage I of their credential. Stage II will be completed the following semester once their degree is conferred and they are classified as a postbaccalaureate student.
