Graduation Plan - Courses & Critical Benchmarks for First Time College Students:

The following is a sample course of study. Your path to graduation may vary based on factors such as college credit you earned while in high school, transfer work from other institutions of higher learning, and placement in Mathematics. You are responsible for checking prerequisites to any courses. It is the Student’s responsibility to ensure that all program requirements are met. This guide is not a substitute for academic advisement.

Students in the six-year program can choose from three undergraduate degrees as shown below: Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry, or Bachelor of Liberal Arts.
