Please note that all academic and elective courses can be taken at any time during sophomore through senior years.
*All students must pass a departmental review prior to undertaking further course work. It is strongly suggested that students intending to major in VCD also pursue a minor beginning in the sophomore year. In the event that a no-pass is earned in the review, it may be easier for the student to shift the minor to a major and graduate in a timely manner.
