RISE Certificate of Completion in Liberal Arts (Two-Year Plan)
Academic planning is the student's responsibility. This Graduation Plan is designed to be a guide to assist students as they plan their course selections. This is only a suggested schedule, and is not a substitute for a student's Advising Worksheet, nor the Program Requirements in the Judson University Catalog. Actual course selections should be made with the advice and approval of an academic advisor. Students should become familiar with the catalog in effect at the time at which they entered the institution. Course requirements and sequencing may vary with AP courses, transfer courses, English/math placement, or other conditions.
A full-time course load for undergraduate students is 12-18 credits per semester. Illinois residents receiving state aid should register for 15 hours per semester.
In addition to the courses below, chapel is required for all traditional full-time students (i.e., those taking 12 or more credit hours), both residents and commuters. This course counts as 1 credit towards a student's full-time status within the term, but does not earn credits towards graduation.
