Degree Map Notes

Following is a sample plan. Please note that student-specific plans may differ.
Meet with an academic advisor to create a specific plan that best fits your academic needs.
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements.
Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student.
Check your Degree Works for requirements and completion.
