Course Flowsheets

These interactive guides provide a semester-by-semester outline of the courses within a curriculum in a "flowsheet" format. The flowsheets enable students and advisors to visualize the pre-, co-, and post-requisites associated with a course. This tool provides a means for students to understand how courses within a curriculum are linked and provides guidance regarding course scheduling.

The effective academic year (AY) refers to the academic year a student is admitted to the major. Academic years listed with a red font represent years in which a curriculum revision was implemented. Please see the Undergraduate Catalog for detailed information regarding effective academic years.

Students can obtain the requirement term (map to effective academic year) associated with their major through the SEAS Portal.

If you have any issues using the flowsheets tool or need assistance, please contact the SEAS Office of Academic Affairs to meet with an academic advisor.

General Notes:

STA 301 and MTH 411 are equivalent courses. Students cannot earn credit for both STA 301 and MTH 411.

Within the flowsheet presented above, students are expected to satisfy four of the five UB Areas and the Diversity Learning requirement via the four Thematic/Global pathway courses shown. Computer Science BA students can complete the List 3 class in both pathways within the required external concentration or electives. Please see the pathways website for more information.

Effective Fall 2019, CSE 400 level classes except CSE 442 and CSE 493 will be 3 credits.

Course Specific Notes:

One of the following: STA 111 Intro to Probability and Statistics I; STA 119 Statistical Methods; MGQ 301 Statistical Decisions in Management; MTH 411 Probability Theory; EAS 305 Applied Probability; STA 301 or other probability/statistics courses that may be subject to approval upon request

These online flowsheets have been prepared to assist you in determining the standard course flow for each major. While efforts have been made to ensure their accuracy, final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements resides with you. Using this tool does not take the place of meeting with your academic advisor.
