¹ Students should consult with a full­time mathematics instructor since one or more mathematics courses may be required before enrolling in MATH 2413.
² Select any Speech course from Communications in the Core Curriculum Course List.
³ Students lacking one full year of (recent) high school physics should take PHYS 1401/1402 before taking PHYS 2425. Students with strong mathematics background may substitute PHY 1653 for PHYS 1401/1402. All students must complete MATH 2413 before enrolling in PHYS 2426.
⁴ Select from: HIST 1301, HIST 2301, HIST 2327, or HIST 2381. HIST 2301 and HIST 2381 may only be taken once.
⁵ Select from the appropriate section of the Core Curriculum Course List.
⁶ MATH 2420 is no longer required for the degree, but is strongly recommended.
⁷ Credit for PHYS 2425 and credit for MATH 2414 are strictly required prerequisites for PHYS 2426.
⁸ Credit for PHYS 2425 and credit or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2415 are strictly required prerequisites for ENGR 2301.
⁹ Select from this approved list the course that best matches the degree requirements at the four­-year engineering school of your choice: ENGR 2302, ENGR 2332, MATH 2420, MATH 2454, CHEM 1412, DFTG 1405, or COSC 1320.
¹⁰ Select from: HIST 1302, HIST 2301, HIST 2327, or HIST 2381. HIST 2301 and HIST 2381 may only be taken once.
