NOTES:
- This plan presumes the incoming student has no college credits earned at the time of matriculation.
- Credits applied from other sources will necessitate adjustments.
- Students who change their major in the first two years will easily be able to pursue other Truman degrees.
- Students who change their mind after 1 year of MAT will still qualify for ES degree, but must take ES senior test.
Perspectives
Plan for intercultural perspective with another Dialogues disciplinary perspective or JINS course.
ES Major Requirement
The ES senior test (the EP-C) is taken after the fourth year, the undergraduate degree is conferred at that time
*ES 250 is offered fall, winter interim, spring and summer.
Must be fully admitted as an MAT student after three years.
