A Major Academic Plan (MAP) illustrates an efficient path toward completing this degree
Use the MAP:
in four years and includes only required courses and credits. A list of Major, General
• to understand the structure of a degree
Education, and Elective credits, as well as a summary of credit categories, are shown on
• as a guide to complete a degree in four years
page two of each MAP. Individual customization of the MAP is generally expected to
• as a checklist for graduation requirements
occur. For example, math remediation, English remediation, number of credits
• to identify course sequences
• to structure elective credits for additional academic opportunities (e.g.
attempted per semester, or the addition of a Minor program will require the student and
Associate Degree, Minor, Study Abroad, Second Major)
advisor to make adjustments to the original MAP.
Sample Degree MAP Course sequence can be adjusted for individual needs. See your faculty/departmental advisor.

Notes:
1. Degree Maps demonstrate a recommended configuration of required courses to complete a degree in four years.
2. 15 credits each semester of required courses is recommended.
3. Students may need to (or choose to) customize the Degree Map to their needs.
4. Students must register for the appropriate English and math courses according to their placement test (ACT, SAT, COMPASS) results.
5. Students should enroll in English and math courses each semester until General Education Objectives 1 (English) & 3 (Math) have been satisfied.
6. Students are advised to refer to the course description in the current online catalog (http://coursecat.isu.edu) for the semester a course will
be offered (e.g. F = Fall or S = Spring).
7. Completion of red bolded Gateway/Milestone courses as outlined is considered a critical component of MAP sequencing.
