3 A required Major course that also fulfills Core Curriculum requirement. Semester credit hours are counted in the Core Curriculum.
4 Three semester credit hours of Calculus are counted to fulfill the Mathematics Core Requirement with the remaining five semester credit hours to be counted under Component Area Option Core.
5 Six semester credit hours of Chemistry are counted under Science core, and one semester of Physics (PHYS 2125) are counted under Component Area Option core.
6 Indicates a prerequisite class to be completed before enrolling for upper-division classes.
7 Students will take one of the two Physics sequences: PHYS 2325 and PHYS 2326 or PHYS 2421 and PHYS 2422 with accompanying labs.
8 These core curriculum courses can be substituted with any allowed core curriculum course for the appropriate category
9 The MATH 2413, 2414, 2415 calculus sequence can be replaced with the MATH 2417, 2419, 2451 sequence
10 Need 51 upper level hours for graduation, cOptional but recommended
Be sure to check prerequisites of Level 2 courses
120 semester credit hours required for graduation
