<p>not really sure what you are asking… But, I would think that any major which leads to a degree, at any size school, would have a course progression listed in the catalog, which if followed, would lead to a degree in that major. And it would be up to the student and academic advisor to make sure the courses are followed and planned from freshman year, so that a degree could be obtained in four years. I have read many places where students take 5-6 years to graduate due to a variety of factors, some of which I’ve read are due to not being able to take classes. (overenrolled would be my opinion for not getting a class, but I guess underenrolled could happen) At any rate, I am glad it is working out for your student. Sometimes, the best laid plans for any family, can have a wrench thrown into them. We can only plan for the best outcome and pray it all comes together. It’s impossible for anyone to have predicted a situation like the one you are describing. Even if they could have forseen scheduling problems, they may have made the same decision.</p>
