The following is the suggested sequence of courses for these degrees. A + indicates courses with a prerequisite or a co-requisite. However, courses that do not have a prerequisite do not have to be taken in order. For example, GOVT 2301 does not have to be taken before GOVT 2302 since GOVT 2301 is not a prerequisite for GOVT 2302 . Nevertheless, the general sequence should still be followed. Part-time students may take more than four semesters to complete the degree.
