Full-Time Students

Full-time students who wish to complete their program in 3 quarters may select their entry quarter below to find the recommended plan of study.

Darker shaded boxes represent the quarter in which the course is recommended to be taken. Lighter shaded boxes indicate available course options which may be taken to achieve full-time status (12 units per quarter) during the specific quarter. Some courses have limited spaces; early enrollment is recommended.

International students who want to do CPT/internship are to save Business Ethics for the fourth quarter to be eligible for internship. The Internship in International Trade course will be, then, taken as an extra elective.

Fall or Spring entry quarters are suggested for students to be most successful in the program due to the sequence of courses and prerequisites needed.
