Sample Schedules for Core with 5-course Concentrations

Sample Plans for Completing Core Courses - Generation 3 Core with 5-course Concentrations

Updated: September 28, 2012

The schedules below are meant to help Symbolic Systems majors, and potential majors, plan out their academic schedule for the core curriculum courses (applicable to the Generation 3 Core Curriculum). These are only samples, and there are many other ways one can go about taking these courses by the end of senior year. The order may also depend on the student's concentration, as certain core courses may be prerequisites for concentration courses. Note that this sample schedule does not include the 5 courses a student must take for his or her concentration.

Some core requirements can be substituted by other related courses (see Core Curriculum). Additionally, some courses have prerequisities that must be completed before taking the course.
