Degree Structure and Design
In addition to writing about guidelines, the essay discussion of academic or educational expectations may explain the overall pattern of your degree. Do you have courses that link with one another and fit into an overall framework?
Answer the following questions to help address degree structure and design in your rationale essay:
- do you have certain courses that link with, support, and/or enhance one another (e.g., do some pieces of the general learning relate to and enhance studies in the concentration?)
- how do you have breadth of study in your degree, through courses fhat fulfill the SUNY General Learning Requirement, through a variety of courses in your concentration?
- does learning, especially in your concentration, show progression from introductory to advanced (in a bachelor degree concentration)?
