A Thematic Sequence is a series of related courses (usually
three) that focus on a theme or subject in a developmental
way. Each course builds upon or expands upon knowledge
or perspective gained from preceding courses, and some
sequences prepare students for Capstone Experiences. The
first course in a sequence may be from a Foundation group
and may count as hours in both Foundation and Thematic
Sequence requirements. Advanced Placement and transfer
credit courses may be used in a thematic sequence. In
interdepartmental Thematic Sequences, students must
select those courses that are offered outside
their department of major. For example, English majors
who enroll in a Thematic Sequence comprised of English
and history courses must sign up for the history courses.
You must complete at least one Thematic Sequence outside
the department of your major. Exceptions to this requirement
include students with double majors in two different
academic departments and students with minors in academic
departments different from their majors. Students who
wish to meet the Thematic Sequence requirement through
a double major or minor option must complete the second
major or minor at the time of graduation. See the Commencement
Office at the time of graduation application if you
plan to use one of these options.
Typically, you are expected to complete most of your Foundation Courses before beginning a Thematic Sequence. To enroll in a sequence, contact the person or department listed in the Curricular Guide to the Miami Plan for Liberal Education, the Course Schedule, or the Course Planning Guide.
