The department requires that students complete all lower division courses during their first two years. These preparatory courses are pre-requisites to the upper division courses completed during their remaining two years of study. Courses are designed to be sequential in developing a cumulative competency through a progression of terminology, models, and concepts that blend theory with applications. Study abroad at King’s College-London or American University-Paris should happen during Third Year (either semester), or Fourth Year (Fall semester only). The IBI program should happen during the summer after Third Year. In addition to the required courses, students take five elective courses.
