IMPORTANT: To graduate you must satisfy both the 124-credit hour minimum AND specified courses for your program of studies. Chances are if you transferred any credits and/or are taking a double major you will need to take additional credit hours.
Notes:
1. If you do not complete 31 credit hours per academic year, you will be delaying your graduation date.
2. Unless you transfer with 30 or more credit hours, you must take SBS 100.
3. Unless you transfer with 45 or more credit hours, you must take SBS 200.
4. If you do NOT finish your math sequence (MATH 128, STATS 240/250, ISOM 201) by the end of your sophomore year, you will be delaying your graduation by a minimum of 1 semester (unless you finish in the summer before your junior year.).
5. Prerequisites for ENT 309 (to be taken your first semester junior year) = ENT 101.
6. Courses that are highlighted in identical colors must be taken in the sequence presented. Failure to do so will delay your graduation date.
7. You are welcome to take courses during the summer. You can use this to catch up on something you may have missed or to get ahead to make a subsequent semester easier.
If you take a double major you have NO free electives. If you take the ENT major plus 2 minors you have NO free electives. If you take the ENT major plus 1 minor you will have 3 free electives. If you only take an ENT major, you will have 6 free electives.
* If need be you can take SIB 429 your second semester senior year. You can only take 1 prerequisite simultaneously with this, so plan accordingly.
