Four Year Program Sample

The following sample four-year program, designed for incoming freshmen, illustrates the careful planning necessary to complete the BS in ECE degree. All students are urged to construct such a four-year plan, in consultation with an ECE degree adviser, as early as possible. While subsequent changes are likely, maintaining a four-year plan provides a coherent path toward the degree. The markings (1) through (7) refer to notes and are explained at the bottom of the table.
