3-5 Year Plans
One of the advantages of our curriculum is
that it is flexible. In addition to the traditional
four-year plan, we offer three and five-year plans.
- The three-year plan is designed for transfer students
or accelerated high-school students that have taken
or tested into at least Calculus II and Classical
Physics I.
- The five-year plan is designed for students
who want to take more time to successfully move
through the curriculum.
- Courses in all of the
plans are listed below along with the year they
should be taken.
The student must take the following courses
plus those
in at least one career concentration:
