Suggested Course Sequence

 

You have a lot of flexibility in building your class schedule over your time at ISU. Please work closely with your academic advisor in crafting a class schedule that meets your educational and professional goals.

In general, you can use the first digit of a course number to determine in which year it is suggested that you take the course. For example, students majoring in psychology typically complete PSY 101 (Introductory Psychology) in their first year. We recommend that students take PSY 201 (Introduction to Research Methods) early in their college career, typically in the second semester of their first year or in the first semester of their second year.
