Program Roadmaps
The 4-Year Roadmap is available online. Roadmaps should be used in consultation with the catalog and your advisor to identify additional requirements for completing the major (for example, course grade minimums).
Communicative Disorders and Science courses are only offered once per year. That means that students begin CDS courses in Fall semesters only, as Spring semester courses cannot be taken without having completed the Fall semester prerequisites.
