Important Program Information:
Students taking courses at Westminster: If CAD 1101 is needed, students should plan to take it during the Fall semester prior to the start of this program. In the first Spring semester, students will enroll in either CAD 2455 or CAD 2400, followed by CAD 2660 in the second Fall semester. During the third Spring semester, students will take both CAD 2661 and CAD 2694. It is important to note that CAD 2661 is only offered at the Larimer Campus in Fort Collins, so students should be prepared to commute for that course.
Students taking CAD 2464 at Larimer: Take CAD 1101 in the Fall semester prior to the start of this program. In the first Spring semester, students will enroll in CAD 2464, followed by CAD 2660 and CAD 2694 in the second Fall semester. During the third Spring semester, students will complete CAD 2661.
All students must complete CAD 2661 at the Larimer Campus. CAD 2661 is not currently offered at the Westminster Campus.
