†The Pathways curriculum is typically 42 credits. However, the Health and Nutrition Sciences B.A major includes three courses (CHEM 1040, BIOL 1001, and HNSC 2300) that also satisfy Pathways requirements. Therefore, students majoring in Health and Nutrition Sciences B.A only need to complete 33 additional Pathways credits.

The four-year degree map is designed to help you take the right courses in the right order so you can graduate in four years.

Ideally, you should follow the four-year degree map as closely as possible, but you are free to make some adjustments so long as the prerequisite requirements are satisfied.
