AMERICAN & FLORIDA STUDIES ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2008 and after)


This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements neccessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

A major in the Program in American and Florida Studies offers the opportunity for intensive interdisciplinary study of American society and culture. A wide variety of courses is available from many departments, and the aim of the program is toward enlarged dimensions of cross disciplinary awareness rather than on further refinements of disciplinary analysis. The flexibility of the program gives the student an opportunity to develop a curriculum in line with his or her interests and needs.
