An academic degree map is a term-by-term course schedule designed for you to graduate in four years. The sample schedules below serve as general guidelines to building a full-time schedule for each term. Earning a degree requires that you complete (1) the required General Education courses, (2) the course requirements of your major and (3) any requirements PSU has designated for a Bachelor degree. Courses and special notes are specified to keep you on track to graduate in four years. Where open elective is listed, it means that you may take a course of your choosing, perhaps a course in an area outside of your major, but be sure to discuss this with your advisor.
This map is not a substitute for academic advisement – contact your advisor if you have any questions throughout the term and as you begin planning for the next. The University Catalog is also available as a resource with a complete list of requirements for all degrees offered at PSU (PSU University Catalog.
Note: Requirements are continually under revision, and there is no guarantee they will not be changed; contact your academic advisor for current information.
A degree map is available for each bachelor’s and associate’s degree and for select undergraduate certificate programs.
