NEW FALL 2014
The plan above is a suggested guide to ensure that all General Education, College, University, and Major requirements are met within 4 years of study. Students may deviate from the suggested placement of Gen Ed courses, although the M/QL and W/C requirements should be completed during the first year of study. *General Electives ensure that a student accumulates the minimum credit hour totals needed for graduation. Students must have a minimum of 120 total credit hours, of which a minimum of 42 credit hours must be upper division (300 or 400‐level courses). Depending upon other elective choices made, students may not need as many general electives as indicated above, or may need additional electives. *** Performance majors in voice are required to take German and French. With departmental permission, Italian may be substituted for French. Other majors must add Foreign Language or Foreign Culture if not completed in high school.
