Sample Coursework:
Students enrolled in the Dual-Diploma program will complete courses at each institution. A general pattern of course categories is shown below. Because each institution has its own General Education (SUNY Geneseo), Federal Education (MSU), and department course schedules, semester coursework will vary for those attending either SUNY Geneseo or Moscow State University. Inquiries about a detailed semester-by-semester plan of coursework, including required and elective courses, should be directed to the Office of Dual Diploma programs. First Year Fall Semester | ||
