A major is the field of study that a student will want to concentrate their degree in. A minor is a secondary concentration that often complements the major. Some majors require a minor, some do not.

First Semester Course Recommendations (located above) and Graduation MAPs are useful tools for students that show a semester-by-semester plan for all the classes needed to earn your degree. You can find your Major Academic Plan at weber.edu/gradmaps or contact the CAH advisors.

Part Time: 6 to 9 credit hours (two to three classes) Suggested if working a full time job, school is not the main focus.

Your degree is a combined 120 credit hours. A credit hour is based on the amount of hours you typically spend in the classroom a week. Each college class is typically 3 credit hours.

To be successful, students need to plan on studying for 2 hours outside of class for every 1 hour they are in class. A 3 credit hour class requires 6 hours of preparation/studying outside of class.
