• Review Sample Degree Audits for the Majors You are Most Interested in. You can find sample degree audits for all of the majors offered at MCAD on the MCAD Intranet, Academic Advising Resources page. These sample degree audits list all of the required courses for each major and can help you decide on which courses to explore for future semesters.
