Four-Year Plans

The College of Science and Mathematics is dedicated to the success and graduation of all of its students.  In an effort to allow students to map out their major requirements and graduation requirements, the Student Success Center has created four year graduations plans for nearly every CSM major.  The Four-Year Plans were designed in consultation with CSM departments and reflect the suggested progression of courses to maximize each major's offerings.  These plans will help students understand which courses are necessary pre-requisites for the higher level courses in the major, and which courses complement each other well.

Please note that these are suggested plans, not required.  They provide a framework for understanding degree requirements and do not guarantee graduation.  Every student is an individual, and the Student Success Center is happy to work with every student to craft a specific plan based on his or her situation.

Additional Notes:

  •     All students must take a minimum of 120 credits. Thirty credits must be taken at UMass-Boston.  Also, some departments require that a minimum number of courses in the major be taken at UMB.
  •     A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0, calculated only from UMB courses, is required by the university.   A minimum GPA of 2.0 in the major is required by the department.
  •     Students are strongly advised to select general education courses which fulfill multiple requirements.
