Outline/Advising Guide

To provide flexibility in course scheduling in order to allow for student choices such as study abroad, various basic scheduling options (under advisement) are offered. The student should also consult the program description and sample program outline/advising guide for the major, which indicates major and general education requirements. Because the major program and the professional preparation requirements must be integrated, courses should be selected under advisement. Note that EDUC 215 may be taken either with or after INTD 203 .
