¹

Students without sufficient preparation will also need to take the following courses, increasing the total credit hours needed:

• MATH 102
• MATH 103

²

Designated courses with the appropriate content approved to satisfy one of the Broad Knowledge requirements plus LOPER 9 or a Broad Knowledge requirement plus LOPER 10.  Some courses approved satisfy LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 alone.  Choosing a course that satisfies the Broad Knowledge requirement AND LOPER 9 or the Broad Knowledge Requirement AND LOPER 10 will reduce the total General Education hours.

A minor or second major is required for a complete degree program. The number of required electives needed to reach 120 total credit hours overall will depend upon the specific program chosen

⁴

Electives must include one advanced course (300-400 level) in BOTH Chemistry AND Physics.

This document represents a sample 4-year plan for degree completion with this major. Actual course selection and sequence may vary and should be discussed individually with your academic advisor. Advisors can also help you plan other experiences to enrich your undergraduate education such as internships, education abroad, undergraduate research, learning communities, and service learning and community-based learning.
