Many departments publish their program objectives on the department Web sites. Undergraduate programs have a coherent design, requiring 120 credits for graduation. The number of credits required for the major ranges from 30 - 60. Professional programs may require up to 72 credits, including all major courses, cognates, and professional courses. This limit may be exceeded by double counting the excess number of credits within General Education 2000.
Graduate programs necessitate advanced requirements and a range of credits.
These are stated in the admissions criteria for each program. Recent renumbering of courses more clearly describes their place in each program. Individual departments have the primary responsibility for the definition of the nature, quality and extent of student learning and achievement within programs. They are supported by the Policies and Procedures Committee, the Committee on General Education, and the Curriculum Committee. Dissemination via the College Web site provides the opportunity to share more fully learning goals and program outcomes.
