| 1. Students may substitute PY 205 for PY 201, PY 208 for PY 202, and PY 407 for PY 203. However, they must take the lab section of PY 203 if they elect to take PY 407. 2. The General Education requirement consists of seven courses (21 hrs) chosen from the University approved lists as follows: one course in literature; one course in history, philosophy, or religion; one course in the visual and performing arts or history; two courses representing different content areas in psychology, economics, politics, sociology, anthropology or cultural geography; and two courses in any humanities/social sciences discipline. One of the courses must focus on a non-English speaking culture. One of the courses must focus on science, technology and society. Foreign language proficiency at the FL 102 level is required for graduation. 3. One of the PE courses must be at the 100 level in Fitness and Wellness. PE may be taken for credit-only (S/U) grading. 4. ST 370 is an acceptable substitute for ST 380. 5. Students may substitute any Advanced Writing Course on the University approved GER list for ENG 333. 6. Computing and numerical methods are discussed extensively in MA 427, 428, 402, and PY 525, all of which are acceptable courses. 7. Technical electives are courses at the 300 level or above in physical, mathematical, and biological sciences, and in engineering. |
