Assumptions

  • Student has earned at least 30 semester hours (AP, Post Secondary, Transfer, IB, etc.), most of which apply to the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Plan Foundation and College of Arts and Science Divisional requirements.
  • Student has earned credit for: MTH 151, MTH 251; PHY 191, PHY 192 (or equivalents).
  • Student has earned prerequisite credit or appropriate placement score for 2nd year of foreign language.

Notes

  • This plan makes several assumptions and should NOT be construed as a substitute for academic advising.
  • All requirements are subject to change.
  • Students must complete all requirements in order to graduate.
  • Please be aware that some PHY courses are only offered in the fall and others in the spring; attention must be paid to the pre-requisite structure of these courses.
  • Several thematic sequences could be completed using courses required for the major (e.g. MTH); this might result in additional elective hours.

Key

  • CAS = College of Arts and Science Divisional Requirements
  • MP =  ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Plan
  • PHY = Physics
  • MTH = Math
