NOTE: The course sequence table is designed by the major department and is one way that the classes will work out properly in sequence for your major. However, there are alternative or flexible ways to rotate some of the classes within the same year/level and sometimes between year levels. Please contact your major department advisor to discuss flexible alternatives in scheduling the sequence of your classes.
Students in some concentrations may be able to accelerate their program completion by taking additional courses during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. The department will work with students on a case-by-case basis to develop an accelerated plan if requested.
See Core Curriculum Program section for a list of approved Core Curriculum courses.
