All students must complete at least 120 total credits, and 40 credits of upper division (300 and 400-level classes). The number of elective credits included in the major will vary depending on what other courses are taken.
FOUNDATIONS COURSES. In addition to named specific courses ENGL 101, ENGR 102, UF 100, UF 200,, students need to take one FC (foundations in oral communication), one FA, one FH, and two FS courses. FS courses must come from two different fields as stated in the University General Education Requirements
GRADE POLICY: A C- or above is required for all prerequisite courses & for all upper division courses in the student’s major. University Foundations requirements including University Foundation(UF) and Foundations of the Discipline (FD) courses require a grade of C- or higher in each course
