Review the courses and requirements in the Five-Year Sample Program of Study. While reviewing, refer to the Double Dawgs Proposal and Guidelines, and the following:
When reviewing the program requirements, ensure that:
- The requirements included in the Five-Year Sample Program of Study match the requirements as they are listed in the Bulletin or PARC. Only courses that appear in the undergraduate major and graduate major requirements in the Bulletin should be included in the Five-Year Plan.
- Any curriculum changes being submitted in PARC for the next Bulletin should also be included in the Five-Year Sample Program of Study
- General statements may be used, such as “Area V course,” if no specific course is required.
- Both the 1 credit hour PE requirement and the 1 credit hour FYOS 1001 requirements should be reflected in the Five-Year Sample Program of Study.
- The requirements for the undergraduate major must total 120 credit hours + 1 credit hour of PE (unless the major is officially approved to exceed 120 credit hours).
- The requirements for the graduate major must total a minimum of 30 credit hours.
- A maximum of 12 credit hours can satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.
- Each semester should be between 12-18 total credit hours.
- The complete course ID and number are included (example: ACCT 2000). Course IDs should not be abbreviated (example: BIOL 1107/L should be submitted as BIOL 1107, BIOL 1107L).
- Courses and credit hour can be verified in the Bulletin or in PARC.
- For any variable credit courses, include the number of credit hours a student is expected to complete. [example: GENE 3000 (2 credit hours)]
-
If changes are needed to the Five-Year Sample Program of Study, either:

OR

-

The approval should be provided when the changes are emailed to [email protected].
-
Email the updates, including approvals, to [email protected] by the deadline for the next Bulletin.
