* Mathematics and foreign language placement is usually done during Summer Orientation. Some students may start with Calculus II and/or need only one or two foreign language courses.
This sample curriculum lists six of the 9-hour thematic sequence requirement. It is assumed that the first three hours are also used to satisfy a Miami Plan Foundation requirement. |
