Major Academic Plans

Students at Cal Poly Humboldt follow many different paths to graduation. Your educational and career goals, as well as personal interests all contribute to planning the courses you take.

Major Academic Plans or MAPs show what courses you might take each semester in order to meet university and major program requirements and graduate with a degree in four years. Discussing course options with an advisor will best serve you in planning a customized schedule to meet your individual academic needs.

Additionally, you may build your personalized plan in DARS planning tools using a program MAP as a resource. Meet with your advisor each semester to assist in planning and to review your progress.
