Review the course list and plan your schedule according to the 27-credit ESP academic plan. Degree Works does not always accurately reflect ESP course fulfillments, so majors are strongly encouraged to meet with ESP advisors regularly to ensure they are on track. ESP advisors can also help determine if any SU Abroad courses can count toward the major.
