Road Maps
Road Maps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.
Some courses and milestones must be completed in the semester listed to ensure timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the road map.
This road map should be used in conjunction with regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor or mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
