Eight-Semester Graduation Plan

This plan is provided as a general overview of a student’s academic path within the major, and includes both major and college requirements for graduation.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:

  1. A minimum of 30 Core/General Education credits must be completed from the required areas. Students should note on their Degree Progress reports if they fall under the Core Curriculum requirements prior to Fall 2023, or the General Education 2023 requirements Fall 2023 and onwards. Any questions about which requirements a student falls under should be directed to the Registrar or the Advising Center.
