These are just a few of the possible pathways a student could take. In addition, there are other paths. Students can take more than one pathway to gain more than one specialization. usually students take two pathways to a 200-level course in each.
Keep in mind that not all pathways go through to the 200-level, and students need the prereqs to take at least two 200-level courses. Also, some pathways require three courses before you can take a 200-level course; others require just two prereqs.
