Auburn DegreeWorks


Auburn DegreeWorks is a degree-auditing and degree-tracking tool. It is an online program that compares your academic achievement to your major requirements as found in the Auburn Bulletin. You can use it to track your academic progress toward a degree, review the requirements you have satisfied, and plan the courses you can take to complete your remaining requirements.
