Roadmap Notes

*Courses marked with an asterisk may be taken in a different semester than listed.

Lower division courses should generally be taken in years 1-2, and upper division courses in years 3-4. Students must have completed 60+ units in order to enroll in Upper Division GE courses. Students should work with an academic advisor to create an individual roadmap using the MyPlanner tool.

A minimum of 120 units is required for this degree

* Indicates GE classes that can be taken any semester prior to Spring Year 3.

** Students may take other 100W courses in consultation with their major advisor.

*** Students may take MATH 127 in Fall Year 4 + upper-div elective in Spring Year 4; or MATH 146 in Spring Year 4 + upper-div elective in Fall Year 4; or MATH 127 in Fall Year 4 + MATH 146 in Spring Year 4.
