Sample Semester Sequences

There’s more than one way to complete your degree requirements. These sample plans show just some of the possible paths based on a specific combination of major and general education requirements. You don’t need to follow the samples exactly.  They are meant to give you a general idea of how your courses might be sequenced.

These examples assume the student is starting without any incoming credits. If you’ve already earned credit (such as AP, ECE, or transfer credit), you may have already fulfilled some requirements.

Tips

  • You CAN use double major, dual degree, and minor courses as your relateds.
  • You CAN take summer and/or winter classes if you'd like.
  • You CAN request permission to take excess credits if you have the appropriate GPA.
  • You CAN take your POLS subdivision courses and POLS additional major courses in any order.
