Notes
This plan is only one way to complete your degree and by no means the only way. Adjustments can be made base
on transfer and AP credits.
*** Major classes also offered in the Gen Ed. Using these classes to complete a theme can result in increasing the
number of free electives toward your major.
STT 1810 is required prior to taking Research Methods in PS. STT 2820 can count towards your Quantitative Lit
requirement and Replace STT 1810 as the prerequisite for Research Methods. This will increase your free electives.
