Use the following resources as references for completing this table: unofficial copy of your current transcript, academic requirements report, transfer credit evaluation(s), your Walden academic advisor, and your preliminary program of study. In your map, be sure that you are listing courses in numerical sequence (e.g., take 2000-level lower level courses before 3000-level upper level courses) and also take into account required prerequisites for any courses. Be sure your credits total at least 181 credits.
