At a Glance

Every major has a "Course Plan" in the DU Bulletin that maps out a schedule for students. Students should consult the Course Plan for their major or majors before registering each term. These Course Plans show the most common path. Students should always check with their advisors (FSEM, Office of Academic Advising, or major) to confirm courses. 

Below is the general path at a glance of a Common Curriculum path:
