10 Chapter 10 Why Do I Need a Roadmap?
Introduction
Roadmaps are a suggested sequence of courses that you may take during your time at UTRGV. Below are the Roadmaps for undergraduate programs within the College of Health Professions. As you review your Roadmap, we encourage you to pay close attention to additional course prerequisites and requirements such as course sequence, course grades, classification, and/or course rotation. These roadmaps help you to stay on track to complete the core and major requirements meeting your degree requirements. Use this link for more information about your core requirements (Understand Your Core Curriculum | UTRGV). Additionally, in connection with your core, take a few moments to review your Roadmap and observe how your graduation pathway intersects with the Categories listed in the Core.
For the latest information on Roadmaps, visit the Know Your RoadMap to Graduation | UTRGV.
We have included your program coordinators below for you to reach out to. Communication is a critical foundation skill to have as a healthcare professional. Let’s practice now.
