Degree Works is a web-based advising tool and degree audit program. It allows a student and faculty advisor to view up-to-date information about a student’s progress towards graduation. The student and advisor can see which major, minor, specialization, and general education requirements have already been fulfilled and which ones still need to be completed. AP, transfer credit, and study abroad credit will all be visible as well.
