Recommended Course Sequence

Undergraduate Admission

This recommended course sequence does not constitute an official degree plan, but rather serves as a tool for 4-year degree planning with an academic advisor. Copies of an official degree audit and transcripts are also useful documents for degree planning. Given UNT Dallas allows students to register in courses for multiple terms within the academic year, this document also supports multi-term course scheduling. Students should always confirm their course selections with an academic advisor to avoid taking unnecessary repeated courses and/or courses that do not meet financial assistance requirements. In addition to the courses listed here, all program and general university requirements must be met to earn the degree or credential. See Requirements for more information not represented in this recommended course sequence.

This plan assumes that TSI College Readiness requirements have been met in all subjects. All prerequisites must be met for course enrollment. Refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for TSI requirements and course descriptions for all course prerequisites.

Even if summer courses are not listed or recommended, students can use the summer sessions to take courses to continue progress to degree attainment.
