Please note that this is a sample plan, and courses should be scheduled based on individual student needs. This sample plan covers university, college and major requirements.

This sample study plan assumes that the student did not complete any Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or community college coursework prior to matriculation. It also assumes the student will complete the Entry-Level Writing Requirement and the American History and Institutions requirement before their first quarter at UC Davis.
