Program Requirements
Planning Your Program of Study The information in the following requirements sections is designed to provide you with guidance in planning your program of study. The requirements, electives, and, in some cases, sequences are detailed. Courses are scheduled for students to follow the planned sequence. If you do not follow your program as designed, you may face conflicts or not have required prerequisites that will necessitate enrolling for additional semesters to complete your requirements.
If you enter a program after the freshman year, you must understand that your degree requirements may not be met within the traditional eight semesters. When you first meet with your academic advisor, you should plan how long it will take to complete your degree requirements.
Requirement Modifications The requirements for the degrees are under continuing review and are, therefore, subject to modification. See the latest departmental degree requirements for any changes and meet with an advisor to ensure these changes are met.
Additional Notes
The total number of credit hours at graduation may be greater for some students based on initial placement exams, transfer evaluations, individual curricular choices, and academic progress.
Certain courses fulfill multiple requirements. In consultation with your academic advisor, you will be able to plan your curriculum more effectively.
Students must fulfill the necessary prerequisites for any given course or course sequence. See the Prerequisite and Co-requisite Policy in University-wide Academic Policies in this Bulletin.
