Part I: Customized Degree Plan
As you may have noticed, your degree plan has both required courses and courses that you get to choose, called electives. To create your Customized Degree Plan, you will choose each of the elective classes that will fulfill the elective credit hour requirements in your degree plan. The point of this exercise is to get you actively involved in your class choices based on your career plans.
Think about the career plan you have made for yourself and decide whether you are more interested in pursuing a more general knowledge of the public safety field or perhaps a more specialized area. Cater your elective choices to fit your career needs. You may choose to follow the sample degree plans provided or create your own elective choices.
