2017-2018 Suggested Course Sequence Sheet
This is a sample schedule of sequencing for the PPE major. The first two years of PPE curriculum lay a foundation of
theories, concepts, and competencies, which support upper division and track courses later in your academic career. Be
sure to regularly review your Degree Status Check in Banner to make sure you are on track with all of your degree
requirements. The minimum of 88 credits required is significant and requires careful course planning.
