Suggested Course Sequence
| NOTICE: The following sequence is simply a suggestion and may not be appropriate
for all students. For example, some students will have to take from one to four developmental
courses before they are prepared to take specific college level courses. Many students will
need to take fewer courses each semester due to obligations in their lives. Full-time status
is 12 credits per semester, but many programs provide students with the flexibility of taking
fewer credits. Meeting with an adviser is crucial to establishing the best course sequence
for each student. |
