Note: In addition to completing the following required courses, students must fulfill the General Education Requirements listed on page 80. Major requirements and/or General Education Requirements may be changed by official action of the faculty.

Under “Recommended Sequence” below, a number indicates the year during which it is recommended that the course be taken (i.e., 1-first year; 2-second year, etc.); a letter indicates that the course should be taken during a particular semester (i.e., F-Fall; S-Spring). This is a recommended sequence which will be individualized based on the course rotation schedule and in consultation with the faculty advisor.

Additional note: Once a student has completed a course in the department, the student cannot take any course that is in the pre-requisite/co-requisite sequence leading up to the course taken, without the permission of the Department Chair.
