Women's Studies Model Four-Year Plan
The normal course load is 15 units per semester (5 classes). By following the model below, a student will complete all lower division core requirements by the end of the sophomore year as well as most of major prerequisites. Note that core areas are suggested to provide a distribution of various disciplines every semester. Please be flexible implementing these suggestions, given your own interests and course availability. In four years, this plan meets all common graduation requirements.
