First semester blueprints

Beginning your academic journey at Messiah University is an important milestone. To support a strong and intentional start, each undergraduate department has developed a First-Semester Blueprint to guide course selection for the first semester. These blueprints outline recommended courses aligned with your intended major, helping you make meaningful progress toward degree requirements while also fulfilling foundational and general education components.

This page will help you locate the appropriate First-semester Blueprint based on your academic interests. Whether you have selected a major or are still discerning your path, these guides are designed to provide clarity and direction as you prepare to register for classes. After reviewing your blueprint, you are encouraged to consult with your academic advisor to finalize a schedule that reflects your goals and interests.
