CRD Major Requirements - PRIOR TO FALL 2023

Community & Regional Development Major (CRD B.S.) - PRIOR TO FALL 2023

It is the policy of the CRD Major that CRD students must be enrolled in a Summer Session (either I or II), and complete a faculty-signed academic contract, if they wish to receive unit credit for research or internship work done during the summer months.

All classes that you are taking to satisfy major requirements (i.e., lower and upper division classes, English classes) must be taken for a letter grade.                 

(A PDF version of the major evaluation form is available here.)
