SUGGESTED SEQUENCE OF COURSES

129 credits minimum for graduation

No more than six courses (18 credits) may be taken in any single geographical area (the United States, Europe, or nonwestern)

If you wish to complete your undergraduate studies (129 credits) in eight regular semesters, you will have to take more than 15 credits in 2-4 semesters or plan to attend Summer I and/or II sessions.

For students with extensive responsibilities, a maximum of 15 credits per semester is recommended along with attending Summer I and/or Summer II sessions if necessary.

Successful completion of Basic Skills, Writing Effective Prose, prerequisites and entry-level General Education courses offered by the Department or all the General Education courses required in the area are necessary before registering for General Education electives. General Education electives must be outside the major and collateral requirements.

Students required to complete Basic Skills courses will enroll in these courses for their first semester. Placement in writing, reading, and math courses is based on State mandated New Jersey Basic Skills test.
