Flowchart Subscripts

A.

Option 1—Chem 103, 4 credits and Chem 104, 5 credits
Option 2—Chem 109, 5 credits. Note: If Chem 109 is taken, students may need free elective credits to meet the minimum number of credits (120) required for graduation.

B.

Math 234 may be taken concurrently with Math 320.

C.

Students fulfilling their course requirements with fewer than 120 credits must take additional free-elective credits to comply with the 120 credit minimum graduation requirement.

D.

Liberal Studies Requirements: Students must take 15 credits that carry H, S, L, or Z timetable breadth designators. These credits must fulfill the following subrequirements:

2. A minimum of six credits designated as humanities (H, L, or Z) in the timetable, and an additional minimum of three credits designated as social studies (S or Z) in the timetable. Foreign language courses count as H credits. Retroactive credits for high school language courses may not be used to meet the Liberal Studies requirement.

3. At least three credits in courses designated as ethnic studies (lower case "e") in the timetable. These courses may help satisfy requirements D1 and D2 as well, but they only count once toward the total required. Note: Courses may have "e" designation and may not have H, S, L or Z designation.

E.

3. One credit of Cooperative Education (ME 001) can be counted for technical-elective credit.

A formal course is defined as a class that meets regularly in a lecture format to study a selected topic. The educational mission is assisted with homework and exams.

F.

G.

EMA 201 may be taken concurrently with Math 222. Physics 201 can be substituted for EMA 201; however, EMA 201 is recommended.

H.

STUDENTS TAKING ME 351 - ME 352 will meet the requirement for ME 349 and 3 crs. of ME technical elective. Those opting out of ME 352 will be required to take ME 349, and ME 351 will count as an ME technical elective.
