Quarter by Quarter Plan

The following is a suggested sequence of courses to meet the requirements for this degree. This plan assumes a student starts in Fall Quarter, has tested into college-level English and Math, and wishes to maintain a full-time courseload. We strongly recommend students meet with an Advisor within their first 2 quarters at Olympic College to review their Quarter-By-Quarter Plan.
