A study plan should be developed immediately upon admission to the program to determine areas of study. This will allow for you to work out the course sequence with the Program Coordinator.
The Professional Education Core sequence is as follows:
| Semesters: | Fall | Winter | Spring | Summer |
| PROFESSIONAL CORE | ||||

Courses in the core are offered each semester to help students advance to degree and to provide flexibility for scheduling. Students in the Interdisciplinary program will also choose 2 areas of focus. Course sequence is dependent on the areas of focus. The study plan that the student develops with the Program Coordinator will provide insight into the course sequence prior to completing the degree.
