Career Goals and Information
The following suggestions are not requirements. Instead, they provide potential ways that students can navigate through the major and shape it into a program of study that meets their needs and goals. The EWM curriculum offers rich and flexible building blocks that students use to envision their goals and then build the foundations necessary to achieve them. In each of the sections, courses are listed that contain possible connections to that specialization. Students should always look at course descriptions each semester, since faculty often customize courses to emphasize their expertise and areas of interest. Therefore, each course offering is unique.
