Advising Course Plan - International Studies Major - 2 Year Plan
This advising plan shows an example of working through the requirements for the major in two years. It is appropriate for students who have already completed sixteen units of coursework with many of the General Education requirements satisfied by that earlier coursework. The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has has taken any 100-level (introductory) language courses prior to the first semester shown in the plan. The student MUST begin at or above the 200-level of their studied language. Students who have completed less than 16 units, have a substantial number of General Education requirements yet to satisfy, or who have not completed the courses just listed may not be able to complete the degree in two years.
Courses for the major that should be completed prior to the first semester of this plan: courses needed to be able to take a Language course at the 201L level or higher during the first semester.
