**Students may choose to study abroad sometime during their 3rd and 4th years for a semester or a year. Students planning to study abroad need to consult with the IAR Study Abroad Coordinator to adjust the course sequence.

***The IARC Experience(9 s.h.) offers students opportunities for educational experiences beyond the classroom in the form of study abroad, field study, practicum, design thesis, concentrated electives, or a second internship.

(This sequence is intended to represent a typical schedule. Actual schedules will vary from student to student according to prior education, availability of classes, attendance of summer sessions, etc.)
