Plan of Study

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Associate of Arts degree in 2 years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

  • LANG 1020 – if student satisfies LN requirement in another way, additional credits from program select electives or general electives must be taken to meet the AA minimum 60 credits.
  • Any Program Requirement Course may fulfill the HU Gen Ed Requirement
  • Note: this Graduation Map also provides a sample schedule for a student planning to transfer to the UofU or UVU Philosophy Programs (PHIL 2350, PHIL 2300, PHIL 2900, plus 1-2 additional PHIL courses satisfy The U’s and UVU’s Philosophy majors requirements).  RELS students or those not transferring to U or UVU Philosophy Programs may choose different Program Requirements and Select Electives.
