Sophomore Year (Defined as 30-59 credits)

Your student should be feeling more at home at the university this year. They know more of the buildings, professors and culture of the community that they have joined. The sophomore year is typically when students will get involved in some of the numerous activities on campus because they better understand how to manage their time.

Sophomores will typically go through the 45 Credit Review benchmark in the first semester of this year.  At this time, many students will be working toward earning an internship for the coming summer terms. Students should visit the Coop and Career Services Office for tips and information about how to go about obtaining an internship.
