How long does it take to complete the CLE requirements?
The CLE is the equivalent of about one full year’s academic work, or about 25% of your degree. However, most students complete most or all CLE requirements over at least a two-year period, usually in the freshman and sophomore years. It is not wise to take all CLE courses together, but to integrate them from the very beginning with your program of study in the major. Although you may want to take some upper-level CLE courses as a junior or senior, you should not wait until your senior year to complete most of your CLE requirements, because this is the time when you most need to concentrate on completing your major.
