Recommended Academic Plans

Summary
These plans are a semester-by semester sequence of majors in the College of Arts and Architecture. They are meant to be used as a guide and an advising tool. They represent one possible option of how to move through the major. General Education categories (GH, GA, for example) are listed specifically. Again, this is only one option. Students have flexibility in planning their general education courses.
