Degree Maps and Advising

Degree maps show one possible course plan for earning a degree in four years. Students are encouraged to develop a personalized plan with their advisor, especially if they have earned transferable academic credit.

Bulletin or Catalog Year

The Bulletin or Catalog year defines the specific set of requirements needed to complete a degree. Requirements occasionally change, so students may benefit from following a different catalog. Typically, the catalog year is the year the student 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.
