2021 - 2022 Major Academic Plans
Each major at Chico State has a Major Academic Plan (MAP) to guide you toward completing all the requirements for your degree.
- Use the 4-year MAP as a tool to help you graduate in four years!
- Refer to your MAP to plan the sequence in which you take your courses.
- Your MAP illustrates an efficient path toward completing your degree, but it is not set in stone. Most GE courses, and many major courses, are interchangeable throughout the various semesters.
- Use your MAP to identify opportunities to take elective courses in addition to your major – perhaps incorporating a minor, certificate, study abroad, or internship.
Discuss your MAP and your options with an Advisor in Academic Advising Programs (SSC 220) and with your Major Advisor.
Create your own semester by semester plan
using your Smart Planner in your Portal.
