The pathway requirement must be completed before graduation.  It is recommended that students aim to complete their pathway by the end of their fifth semester, although the target completion date will vary across programs.  Students should work with their advisors to ensure timely completion of the pathway requirement.

No.  Students may not create their own pathway.  Students wishing to add breadth beyond an existing pathway to their HASS studies are advised to use their additional HASS courses for this purpose.

First-year students must take a HASS Inquiry (HI) course as part of the HASS Core, but they have the option of satisfying this requirement within or outside of the pathway.  Most pathways contain one or more HI courses, but others do not.  For the latter, students must take an HI course outside of their pathway. Transfer students should consult with their academic advisor for questions related to the HI requirement.

Students must take a CI course and a 4000-level HASS course as part of the HASS Core, but have the option of satisfying these requirements within or outside of the pathway.  Most pathways contain one or more CI courses, but a few do not.  For the latter, students must take a CI course outside of their pathway.  The same holds true for 4000-level courses.

Yes.  For most pathways, students can complete a HASS minor with one additional course.  Please see the list of pathways for additional information about compatible minors for each pathway.
