*Class selection can vary. Students should meet with advisor to determine best courses to fulfill graduation requirements and career goals. The above sequence of courses is a sample. Actual sequencing may vary based on advising and student goals.
#Electives – The total number of elective courses needed to meet the 120 credits for graduation will vary depending on the number of credits assigned to each course. Students may need to take additional electives. Students should track credits for graduation carefully and take elective credits accordingly. Students can utilize electives to complete prerequisite requirements for advanced courses, minors, Experiential Global Learning (study abroad), internships, research, and/or courses required for graduate admissions. This plan of study assumes the foreign language is completed prior to admission to the university. If a language is required, students may take language courses as electives.
