Degree Maps and Advising
Degree maps show one possible course plan for earning a degree in four years. Students should talk with their advisor regularly to develop a personalized plan that works best for them, especially if they have earned transferable academic credit.
Bulletin or Catalog Year
The Bulletin or Catalog year defines the specific set of requirements students need to complete a degree. Requirements occasionally change, so it may benefit students to follow a different catalog. Typically, the catalog year is the year students began at PSU, but transfer students may be able to use an earlier catalog.
DARS System
Students are highly encouraged to run their own Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) report to track their progress through their program. DARS audits are advising tools and are not an official record of earning a degree, major, minor, or certificate.
