Course Outline
The following is a list of all current courses offered, including co-requisites and pre-requisites. The course work provides a progressive learning approach, increasing in degree of complexity, and is to be studied in the sequence shown.
Students who will advance to the final year of the three-year program are required to complete a minimum of 36 quarter-credit or 24 semester credit liberal arts electives prior to or concurrent with the program. Quarter-credit courses are offered on-line. Registration for these courses must be completed separately by students with the Registrar. Please note that scheduling for these courses is independent of the Academy’s term schedule. Students who have prior undergraduate credits in liberal arts must see their Program Director to apply for credit transfers. Electing to complete the third year after the two-year foundation program without these credits will require that a student complete some liberal arts courses before proceeding into the third year.
