4 YEAR FLIGHT PLAN: BS/BSE in Science Education (Chemistry 6

4 YEAR FLIGHT PLAN:
BS/BSE in Science Education (Chemistry 6-12)
FAU is committed to your success as a student. One way we define student success is efficient and
effective progression through your degree program.
This Flight Plan is a tool to assist you in planning the courses you should complete and the
milestones you should reach during your undergraduate studies so you may graduate on time. It is
our intention that you complete this planning tool in collaboration with an academic advisor to ensure
good understanding of:
 Which graduation requirements you have satisfied
 Which Intellectual Foundations and elective courses match your career plans
 How to balance coursework with your other responsibilities (e.g., employment) and
optional activities (e.g., mentored research, study abroad, student organizations, leadership)
 How to get the most from your academic experience at FAU
Your academic advisor will help you customize and maintain your Flight Plan during the next four
years so that you stay on track for success at FAU. In order to graduate on time, you will need to:
 Complete an average of 30 credit hours per year
 Earn 120 credit hours, at least 45 in the upper division (3000 or 4000 level)
 Earn at least 9 credit hours in summer coursework (or equivalent)
Your advisor will help you identify what additional milestones apply to you, as well as how you may
even graduate early or enter an accelerated graduate program. If you have any questions at all about
your FAU Flight Plan, feel free to contact any of the following individuals for assistance. They are
here to help!
