Academic Planning

Creating an academic plan allows you to get the most out of your time here at Humboldt. Things to consider include sequencing of your courses to make sure you’ve met prerequisites, taking advantage of double counts where possible, allowing time for academic or career related internships or study abroad opportunities, adding a minor to compliment your field of study and other factors designed to enhance your college experience.

One resource for helping you achieve your academic goals is your academic advisor. We encourage you to meet regularly with your advisor to discuss and plan your progress towards your degree.

Majors and Programs:

Get an overview of your major and minor, including program requirements and course descriptions by reviewing Degrees and Academic Programs.

Review Major Academic Plans, or MAPs, to see what courses you might take each semester in order to meet university and major program requirements and graduate with a degree in four years.
