NOTES:
  1. ENGL 104 and 210 or 301 satisfy the communication requirement for the University Core Curriculum.
  2. Freshman science courses are to be selected from BIOL 111, BIOL 112; CHEM 101 or CHEM 103/113; CHEM 102 or CHEM 104/114. Any 8 hours of these science courses satisfy the science requirement of the University Core Curriculum.
  3. Select 3 hours of English literature which fulfill the humanities requirement for the University Core Curriculum.
  4. Science electives should be chosen from biology, biochemistry, chemistry, genetics or physics courses after consultation with the student’s advisor. At least 6 hours must be 200-level or above.
  5. Three elective hours must be chosen from the approved University Core Curriculum list for visual and performing arts. An additional 3 elective hours must be chosen from the approved University Core Curriculum list for social and behavioral sciences. In addition, 6 hours of courses must be in the area of international and cultural diversity. These may be in addition to other University Core Curriculum courses, or if a course in this category satisfies another area of the Core, it can be used to meet both requirements. Students desiring teacher certification should consult the requirements for certification before registering for electives.
  6. Twelve hours must be chosen from any 400- or 600-level MATH (excluding MATH 401, 403 and 601). Students are encouraged to take MATH 414, 442 or 470. Departmental permission is required to take MATH 485 or to enroll in a 600-level MATH course. Students who plan to attend graduate school are encouraged to take MATH 416, 447 and at least one 600-level course.
