1 Entering students will normally be given placement tests in chemistry, mathematics, and English. Test results will be
used to select the appropriate starting courses, which may be at higher or lower level.
2 To be selected from the University Core Curriculum. Of the 18 hours shown as University Core Curriculum electives, 3
must be from visual and performing arts, 3 from social and behavioral sciences, 6 from U.S history, and 6 from POLS 206
and 207. The required 6 hours from international and cultural diversity may be met by courses satisfying the visual and
performing arts, social and behavioral sciences, and the political science and history requirements if they are also on the
approved list of international and cultural diversity courses. In addition, ENGR482/PHIL482 must be taken.
3 To be selected from ECEN 215, MEEN 221.
