| Minimum grade of C in all science courses (BIOS, CHEM, CSCI, EES, MATH, PHYS, PSYC) |
- "C" or better required
- 6 credits of Math satisfy the general education requirements
- Check General Education Courses to confirm courses fulfilling this requirement.
- FTA (theatre/dance/film related course), FA or MUS
- At least 6 of these credits must not be mathematics courses in the College of Sciences. 6 credits can be engineering courses. 1 less credit is required if the student took CSCI 1581 and CSCI 1583 (rather than CSCI 1205.) The College of Sciences maintains a list of approved science electives. Note that many low level classes are not permitted.
- Includes 2 credits of Math listed in general education requirements section
- Students not adequately prepared to enter a calculus sequence must take appropriate pre-calculus courses without credit toward graduation. The mathematics department determines placement for mathematics classes.
- Students interested in graduate studies in mathematics are strongly advised to take Math 4102.
