Students not ready for Calculus I and II in their freshman year may take MATH 150; however, the credits do not count toward the total number of semester hours needed to meet the degree requirements. Restricted electives can be selected from upper level math or statistics courses such as MATH 360, MATH 350, or STAT 330 . Upper level (200 level or above) chemistry, biology, mathematics or computer science courses may also be used to satisfy restricted electives.
General Education Requirements for the B.S. Degree
Total Requirements Semester Hours: 33
A single course may simultaneously fulfill a general education requirement and a departmental or major/minor requirement. A single course cannot be used to fulfill more than one general education requirement. Department or major/minor areas may opt to exceed the minimum credit hour requirements above.
