Major Academic Plans (MAPs) (Undergrad)

What is an undergraduate Major Academic Plan (MAP)?

A MAP is a guide for undergraduate students that shows the recommended sequence of classes for a major. As you consider your major at Wheaton, the following links help you review what a major might look like. These Major Academic Plans (MAPs) show a preferred sequencing of courses from the first year through graduation. However, your path may vary depending on the credits you bring into Wheaton College and your path toward declaring a major.

We recommend using the table below to compare different MAPs to help you envision what your liberal arts experience might look like.  Use the MAP Worksheet to plan out your semesters. (Remember to download your plan once you are finished.)

(Note that all courses on Major Academic Plans are 4-credit courses unless otherwise noted.)

Important Note: Students who intend to become high school teachers will declare two majors: 1) the academic area with teaching and 2) secondary education. However, for convenience, the education department has combined both majors onto one MAP for students to follow.
