How can my student learn about the specific curriculum for a major?

There are many different ways a student can access the curriculum for a particular major.

College or Departmental Website

CAPP compliance

All Mississippi State students have access to the degree audit system CAPP (curriculum, advising, and program planning) in myState. CAPP helps students and advisors track progress toward graduation. It outlines all courses required for the chosen major and which courses have been completed or remain to be taken, as well as hours earned, GPAs, and transfer hours. Students can also do a "what if" analysis to see how completed courses fit into different majors. Using the CAPP information, you and your advisor can focus on your goals and plan how to achieve them.

To view CAPP, students should choose “CAPP compliance” under “Academic Records” in myState and view a previously run evaluation or generate a new evaluation. To investigate a possible change in major or the addition of a double major, students should choose a What-If evaluation. These audits will utilize courses completed and those scheduled to inform students of their status at any point in their university career. Questions concerning articulation or substitution of courses should be directed to a students’ advisor or the college Dean’s office.
