Integrated Science Studies Recommended Four-Year Plan (Fall 2016)

This recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. 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. NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2016-2017 academic year.

WI: 3 Writing Intensive courses required in the major.  Fulfilled with GEOL 106, BIOL 110, SCIN 496.

 Sequencing of Gen Eds, free electives, and concentration electives is a suggestion only. o Due to changes in the GE program in Fall 2018, you should complete your GE requirements in the 2017-2018 academic year; the only GE course that could be taken after this will be AIID 201.
