FOOTNOTES: * A grade of C or better is required. C Co-requisite 1 To be taken after consultation with academic advisor and in reference to math placement exam (MPE) taken prior to the New Student Conference. 2 To be selected from the University Core Curriculum. Of the 18 hours shown as University Core Curriculum electives, 3 must be from Creative Arts, 3 from Social and Behavioral Sciences, 6 from U.S. History, and 3 from POLS 206, and 3 from POLS 207. The required 6 hours from International and Cultural Diversity may be met by courses satisfying the Creative Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the History requirements if they are also on the approved list of International and Cultural Diversity courses. It is recommended that students combine courses whenever possible to meet the International and Cultural Diversity requirement. 3 Suitable ENGL courses may be substituted in consultation with student’s advisor. 4 Technical electives are to be selected in consultation with student’s advisor and track coordinator from an approved list available in Howdy and online.
