Pathways are example templates that outline how a program could be completed with recommended courses and requirements sequenced by term. Pathways are similar to Four Year Plans that can be found in the Catalogs and Course Information. Students can utilize Pathways when exploring and building their student plan. Pathways assist advisors and students in term by term planning, rather than just providing students with a list of all classes needed. Pathways can be applied to a Student Plan as a initial foundation of the Plan itself.
Tip: Pathways do not always include institutional requirements, or additional minors but rather recommended courses sequenced by semester. Actual course selection and sequence will vary individually by each student.
