Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduation Planning Strategies (GPS) - Alphabetical

A Graduation Planning Strategy (GPS) is an academic tool showing one example of how a program can be completed in a certain amount of time. All Wright State undergraduate majors can be completed in four years with careful planning. Some programs may require summer coursework.  Combined programs (bachelor’s + master’s programs) can be completed in five to six years. Time to degree is dependent on many factors including student placement in mathematics and writing courses, CCP and AP coursework, transfer coursework, and other variables. 

This GPS is valid for this year’s Academic Catalog only and is subject to change. This GPS is a recommendation only and your actual program may vary. Students should consult with their academic advisor on a regular basis and create a personalized plan to degree completion.
