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.
