Catalog Year 2024-2025
This course map is a recommended sequence for students starting in the fall who have earned more than 55 credits and want to take 7 or less credits per semester. Students with less than 55 credits will consult with their academic counselor on a schedule to meet their academic goals. Courses taken out of sequence may affect time to graduation. Students should consult their advising worksheet and academic counselor for an individualized degree plan.
