Degree Works organizes coursework in an easy-to-read degree audit summarizing completed requirements for a degree, as well as those that are still missing. It also shows how each requirement has been satisfied and what courses can be taken to complete any remaining requirements.
The degree audit provided by Degree Works does not replace the need for students to consult with their advisor.
