 Remember that this major is based on competitive admission. Refer to the department’s Web page at
www.missouristate.edu/sportsmed/ for current information and specific admission criteria.
 Students interested in pursuing Post-professional degrees should consider:

Tips for Success:
o Meet with a CFD Advisor as soon as possible for
support and advisement
o Students typically take MTH 130 over MTH 135
o Be aware that the CFD program at MSU is
multidisciplinary and provides you with several
options around which to focus your program. You
may choose to pursue a program focusing primarily
on children or you may elect the option that focus
on youth, families or child life.

290,MED 365, MUS 216), including the course in the option area to which they apply, before making a portfolio application.
Portfolio includes several short essays, plus a minimum of 2 and a maximum of three creative works in the option area
(audio, video, interactive new media or computer animation) with at least one example coming from the preadmission core
course in the track to which the student is applying.
*The EA Program requires a minor. No more than 6 hours may count toward both the major and the minor.

Tips for Success:



No minor is required with this comprehensive major though most students do add a minor in psychology
and are encouraged to use general electives to complete a major or minor in another area of interest.
Meet with a Gerontology advisor as soon as possible when deciding on the dual major option so he/she
can help you develop an academic plan to maximize use of credit hours.

Special Notes:
•
•
•
ENG 321: Writing II: Beginning Technical Writing counts for the Gen. Ed. Written Communication course choice and
as the first course in the Professional Writing major.
One choice in the two Life Sciences (GEC 106–107) or Physical Sciences (GEC 108–109) must include a lab.
This 8-semester plan outlines just one option for Professional Writing majors. ENG 570, 572, 573, and 575 are
among upper-division choices for Professional Writing majors. Consult with an academic advisor and consider the
course options listed at http://www.missouristate.edu/registrar/catalog/prog_Pro_Writing.htm
The English Department also offers a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing.
•
Tips for Success:
•
•

Always consult with an academic advisor about major and minor options and course sequences.
Many students use the elective courses available in the Professional Writing (B.S.) plan to seek a second minor.
Summer school courses are not calculated into this plan but can alleviate heavy course loads during fall and spring
semesters.

Tips for Success:
 Minor required for this major. Minors typically require 18-24 credit hours. You will learn more about
selecting a minor in PSY 150. Meet with an advisor in the department of your minor to schedule those
courses.
 PSY 150 may be taken either semester of the first year.
 For 5th semester students planning graduate study, PSY 490 (Fall only) may be a good addition.
 **There is also a non-comprehensive Bachelor of Arts degree option for this major. See your advisor for
more information.
Involvement in Psychology Club/Psi Chi will help you learn more about the major, the field, and the department
of Psychology!

Tips for Success:
*The BA in Theatre Studies is non-comprehensive major and as such, a minor is required. Courses counted for the major
may not be counted for the fine arts requirement. The BA Theatre Studies major requires 38-39 hours to complete.
*Periodicity of many classes is important, with many scheduled as F (fall) or S (Spring) only classes. Students need a
minimum of 40 hours of coursework at a 300+ course level.
*THE 515 is an elective course but may also serve at the PAIE for Theatre Studies.
*PAIE is the Public Affairs Intensive Experience, a requirement within certain programs.
