What is an Education Plan?

A complete listing of every class needed to meet the requirements of

your Program / Major

What is needed in order to develop an Education Plan?

•  A 4 yr. major or a CTE major

– e.g. Computer Engineering, Horticulture, Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry

•  Math and English placement information •  If planning on transferring, you will need to

know where you’d like to transfer to.

STEM at Cabrillo is …….

•  Engineering •  Computer Science •  Construction Energy

Management •  Computer Information

Technology •  Biology •  Physics •  Astronomy •  Oceanography •  Math

•  Chemistry •  Geology •  Environmental Science •  Welding •  Game Programming •  Horticulture •  Oceanography •  Statistics •  Oceanography •  Engineering Technology

•  The courses required for your major that are sequenced one after another.

•  Focusing on your Critical Path will save you time and money.

•  If majoring in STEM, your math courses will be a big part of your Critical Path.
