These plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree. This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required. If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and degree completion may take longer.\u00a0Three writing intensive courses are required in the major and\/or school core (examples are marked by <strong>WI<\/strong> designation in the plan below).
