Suggested Four-Year Major Plan (Academic Year 2016-2017)
The Suggested Four-Year Major Plan is a guide to help Caldwell University students complete their graduation requirements within four years. It is a suggested framework which builds upon the core curriculum as well as the required and elective courses within a student’s major. This suggested plan does not include developmental courses. Should developmental courses be required, students will need to work with their Academic Advisor to include those additional courses; this may delay graduation in four years. Students should always meet with their Academic Advisor to further individualize their academic plans and confirm the availability of courses and course sequencing. The following credits below include the minimum required courses and credits needed to graduate. Students enrolled as full-time status may take 12-18 credits a semester.
*A second writing intensive (WI) course is required. Students are recommended to complete it before the end of their fourth semester. Students who transfer to Caldwell with a minimum of 30 credits will have their second WI course waived.
**Students must take the following three TH major courses in no specific order and when offered: TH 316, History of Christian Thought; TH 318, Old Testament or TH 319, New Testament; and TH 334, Christology.
***Students must take seven additional TH 2xx and 3xx major electives after consultation with the Department Chair. Students may take TH 2xx and 3xx courses simultaneously, with permission by the Chair.
****Theology majors may double count between the Enriched Core and Theology Major Course Requirements.
