Sample Schedule

This sample schedule is provided as a guide for a full-time student with placement into ENGL& 101 and appropriate math. This curriculum map assumes a fall quarter start and taking no classes in summer quarter. A customized curriculum map will be needed for students starting the program in a different quarter and in other circumstances. Not every course is offered every quarter: careful planning is required to complete the degree in the fewest number of quarters. Students should meet with a faculty advisor throughout their course of study. An customized curriculum map can be accessed in Navigate.
