Consult your degree audit to plan your remaining courses (any listed beside a red “X”).
You should begin by selecting the semester in which you plan to graduate in and
working backwards. Below are some general guidelines.
1) List MIE 480 in your final semester. All prerequisites to this course (BUS 320, 350,
360, 370 & MIE 305 and 330) must be completed by the end of your second to
last semester. List any remaining major courses on your plan.
2) Your 12 hours of concentration courses should be spread evenly across your final
two semesters (i.e. 2+2). If you are concentrating in entrepreneurship, MIE 310
must be taken in your third to last semester at the latest.
3) Fill in any remaining general education requirements. Remember that some of
these courses could have prerequisites or require placement (e.g. FLS 201).
Don’t forget about free electives or any classes you are planning towards a
minor.
4) The Software Skills Test (SST) is a prereq to BUS 340. You should complete this
requirement as soon as possible.
If anything appears to be incorrect on your degree audit, please speak with your
academic advisor. NOTE: This is a tentative plan and is subject to the availability of
classes. Please consult the university course catalog and become familiar with
prerequisites, grade requirements and anticipated course offerings.
