Recommended Course Sequencing**

All students must submit a study list for departmental approval. It is recommended that required CPSE classes be taken in the sequence outlined below. Most psychological foundation and elective courses are not on this list because they can be taken when the student prefers (depending on availability).

** Course offerings may vary slightly for specific semesters. Students should check online listings of future schedules to plan their registration.
