The information on this page may change without notice. All official program information and academic requirements will be found in the course catalog. Students are responsible for the selection of courses, completion of degree requirements, and acquainting themselves with academic policies.

All new students are required to meet with an adviser prior to registering for their first semester to receive a personalized program checklist.
