If you are a freshman, starting in the fall semester, you might find this sample schedule useful as a planning device for the next few years. This is not appropriate for transfer students.

If you use this schedule you should check it each semester to make certain you have the prerequisites for the courses you will be taking. The schedule quickly becomes inaccurate if you do not enter in the fall semester and follow it exactly.
