ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2026 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
In the emerging connected society, information and information technology are ubiquitous and influence almost all forms of human activity. Modern IT professionals use information and technology to support the goals and cultures of the people and organizations they serve. The Information Technology (IT) major prepares graduates who can apply technology innovatively, manage information purposefully, communicate effectively, and work ethically and productively with people. Successful information technology professionals determine an organization's information needs and then design, create, and manage information systems to meet those needs. In the IT program students participate in hands-on learning experiences designed to develop and hone leadership skills in communication, technology, teamwork, information management, critical thinking, and problem solving.

Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences: Clinical Professions
Academic MAP (Effective Summer 2026 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available at BOTH the main campus in Tallahassee, FL and the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
To enter any of the health professions, volunteer, service, and clinical experience are essential. Students in each of the Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) majors are required to engage in the real world of health care as part of the IMS Experiential Learning Seminar sequence. Students are required to obtain a minimum of 64 hours of experiential learning hours each academic year. These hours are part of the mapping milestones required for the Clinical Professions major.
The Clinical Professions major works best if you can start math with MAC1140 Pre-calculus and take CHM1045 General Chemistry I and Lab as soon as possible. STA2122 Intro to Applied Statistics is recommended for students who need statistics for their health profession or for those students who begin their math with MAC 1114 Analytical Trigonometry and who still need to satisfy their 2nd Quantitative & Logical Thinking general education requirement. Students wishing to apply to a health professional school and need to take the standardized tests (e.g. MCAT or DAT) should plan on taking summer classes and have all the required coursework completed at the end of term 6, otherwise should plan for a "gap" year after graduation. Students should be meeting with the pre-health/pre-med advisors about any professional health school requirements.
All coursework required for the major must be taken for a letter grade and a grade of "C minus" or better is required.

Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences: Community Patient Care
Academic MAP (Effective Summer 2026 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
To enter any of the health professions, volunteer, service, and clinical experience are essential. Students in each of the Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) majors are required to engage in the real world of health care as part of the IMS Experiential Learning Seminar sequence. Students are required to obtain a minimum of 64 hours of experiential learning hours each academic year. These hours are part of the mapping milestones required for the Community Patient Care major.
The Community Patient Care major works best if you can start math with MAC1140 Pre-calculus and take CHM1045 General Chemistry I and Lab as soon as possible. STA2122 Intro to Applied Statistics is recommended for students who need statistics for their health profession or for those students who begin their math with MAC1114 Analytic Trigonometry and who still need to satisfy their 2nd Quantitative & Logical Thinking general education requirement. Students wishing to apply to health professional school and need to take the standardized tests (e.g. MCAT or DAT) should plan on taking summer classes and have all the required coursework completed at the end of term 6, otherwise should plan for a "gap" year after graduation. Students should be meeting with the pre-health/pre-med advisors about any professional health school requirements.
All coursework required for the major must be taken for a letter grade and a grade of "C minus" or better is required.

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2026 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
The Asian Studies major consists of 40 hours beyond General Education. In addition, a foreign language up to the intermediate level is required.
