What is an undergraduate Major Academic Plan (MAP)?
A MAP is a guide for undergraduate students that shows the recommended sequence of classes for a major. As you consider your major at Wheaton, the following links help you review what a major might look like. These Major Academic Plans (MAPs) show a preferred sequencing of courses from the first year through graduation. However, your path may vary depending on the credits you bring into Wheaton College and your path toward declaring a major.
We recommend using the table below to compare different MAPs to help you envision what your liberal arts experience might look like. Here is a blank MAP Worksheet you can download and use to plan out your semesters.
(Note that all courses on Major Academic Plans are 4-credit courses unless otherwise noted.)

Important Note: Students who intend to have a career teaching high school students will declare two majors: 1) the academic area with teaching and 2) secondary education. However, for convenience, the education department has combined both majors onto one MAP for students to follow.
