Assignment:

• Plan out your major (or a major you are considering): what courses do you need to take? When will you take each one?
• To find details about any major or minor:
  
• Use "Academic Offerings A-Z" 
• This is a link to the UVM catalogue, not individual departments (but the information should be the same)
  
• Or use "UVM A-Z" to find departments
• Majors (and minors) are usually explained by clicking a link like "undergraduate degrees" on the left hand side of the page.
• To find individual courses:
  
• Use the catalogue "Browse Courses by Subject"
• Usually, courses are also listed via a link on the left hand side of department pages.
• Now plan a second major.
• And a minor.

• What is a "MAJOR"?
• 30 or more credits in a single area: about 10 courses
  
• 15 or more at the 100-level or higher
• What is a "MINOR"?
• 18 or so credits in a single area: about 6 credits
  
• 9 or more at the 100-level or higher
• How many credits does it take to graduate?
• 120 (about 35-40 courses)
