Suggested 4 Year Course Plan:

This suggested plan is designed to give students an idea of how to balance their coursework over 8 semesters and to graduate within 4 years. Most students will need to take a minimum of 30 credits each year in order to meet the graduation requirement of a minimum of 122 overall credits.  It should be used along with your Degree Works worksheet and in consultation with your faculty advisor. It is meant as a guide, not a definitive list of courses that must be taken as written. Your faculty advisor will help you make any necessary adjustments during advisement.

Note: The requirements for our major involve student choice, so many of these suggestions are flexible, except for the following prerequisites: ENG 112 must be successfully completed before ENG 330 which in turn must be successfully completed before ENG 497 and 498; also ENG 105 must be successfully completed before ENG 246 or 247 which must be successfully completed before registering for a 300-level writing course.

Please remember to check the total number of credits a student is accumulating toward the total needed for graduation (122). It is possible for a student to fulfill all of the major and liberal education requirements without achieving the necessary number of credits.
