Program Planning
Sample Programs
The following program is a sample only. Successful completion of the courses included in this program will provide the necessary background to pursue further education or employment in the appropriate area.
In either a two or four year college, the student secures a broad background in the arts and sciences through the study of literature, philosophy, art, music, language, history, mathematics, and sciences. While a student may indicate his/her intended major as an incoming freshman, most colleges provide a core of courses for all students during the first two years, and specialization is delayed until the junior and senior years.
