How to use the catalog

Search the catalog by keyword, program name, course subject, or course number.

Browse Programs A-Z to find degrees, certificates, minors, and academic pathways.

Browse Courses to review course descriptions, credits, and prerequisites.

Students should use the catalog together with advising support to make decisions about degree planning, course selection, transfer credit, graduation requirements, and academic progress.

Choosing the right catalog year

Most students should begin with the current academic catalog. Some students may need to follow an earlier catalog year based on when they started their program, changed majors, returned to DSU, or completed specific requirements.

Students who are unsure which catalog year applies should contact their academic advisor or the Office of Academic Records before making decisions about degree requirements.

Important note about official requirements

Catalog information can affect degree planning, graduation timelines, course selection, transfer credit, licensure preparation, and financial planning. Students should use the official academic catalog and consult with an academic advisor to confirm requirements for their specific program.
