Assumptions: college‐level readiness in MTH & ENG; no Foreign Language Deficiency
College/Program Notes: If the CLASS Foreign Language Requirement was fullfilled in High School, the 10 university credits listed here must still be taken in any subject in order to reach the 128 total credit hours required for the degree.
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 128 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.
