This eight-semester plan (see important details) is intended to guide students through a four-year undergraduate career, with completion of an academic major and all college-wide degree requirements. The plan is designed as an advising tool – a starting point for careful discussions between students and their academic advisors. In consultation, a student and advisor will adjust the plan to accommodate the student’s prerequisite needs, transferred credits, and other such variables.
The plan below reflects General Education (GE4) requirements in effect as of Fall 2019. Students who matriculated prior to that date will find the previous plan associated with their majors here. For a summary of GE4 requirements, see New Paltz General Education Requirements.
Students are responsible for reviewing their Progress Reports each semester to track their own progress toward degree requirements.

Notes
1 - In most cases, the order of General Education requirements is suggestive, and course availability (as well as individual preference) may dictate that a course be taken in a semester other than the one indicated. Exceptions to this are courses that fulfill both GE and major requirements, which should be taken in the term specified, and ENG170 Writing & Rhetoric, which must be taken in Year 1.
2 - The Foreign Language requirement for GE4 may be fulfilled by completing two consecutive elementary-level courses or one intermediate-level (or above) course. The number of courses needed is based on students' prior experience in the language - i.e., their Language Placement Level (LPL), which appears on the Progress Report.
3 - The Natural Sciences requirement for GE4 may be fulfilled by taking two non-lab science courses totaling 6 credits or a combination of science lecture and lab totaling 4 credits.
4 - General Education: As one option, these Anthropology courses currently satisfy GE4 Natural Sciences and GE4 United States Studies categories:ANT301 Human Evolution (NSCI), ANT315 Historical Archaeology (USST)
5 - Choose one course from two different World Areas (Asia, Mesoamerica, North America, South America):ANT370 Cultures of East Asia (WRLD), ANT378 Cultures of South Asia (WRLD)
ANT304 Ancient Mesoamerica (WRLD), ANT308 Caribbean Ethnography
ANT303 Indians of North America (DIVR), ANT312 North American Archaeology, ANT314 New York State Archaeology
ANT305 Cultures of South America (WRLD)
6 - As one option, this Anthropology course currently meets the College's Diversity requirement:ANT303 Indians of North America (DIVR)
