Notes

  1. CHEM 152 (3 credits) and CHEM 152L (1 credit) are required for CHE majors and should be taken in the second semester as Science Elective I. If another course, selected from BIOL 201, 202, ECE 200, MSE 209 or PHYS 252, is taken, then CHEM 152/152L will satisfy the CHEM/SCI elective (See note 7). (For additional policy details about CHEM 152/152L, click here.)
  2. Humanities and Social Science Electives: chosen from the approved list available in A122 Thornton Hall.
  3. Chosen from CHE 246, CE 205, CE 230, CE 231, CS 230, ECE 203, ECE 230, MAE 202, MAE 231, MAE 232, MSE 209. (CHE 246 is recommended for the bio-concentration, MSE 209 is recommended for other CHE majors.)
  4. If necessary, MAE 210 can be used to satisfy this requirement.
  5. Unrestricted electives may be chosen from any graded course in the University except mathematics courses below MATH 131 and courses that substantially duplicate any others offered for the degree, including PHYS 201, 202; CS 110, 120, or any introductory programming course. If APMA 109 is taken as part of the mathematics sequence, it will be counted as an unrestricted elective.
  6. Any 200 to 599 course in: APMA, MATH, CHEM, PHYS, BIOL, BIOM, CHE (other than required courses), ENGR, CE, CS, ECE, MSE (except MSE 201), MAE, SYS plus TMP 351 and ENVS 215, 280, 320, 340, 386, 428, 444, 446, 470.
  7. Chosen from: BIOL 200-599, BIOM 201, BIOM 204*, CHE 246*, CHE 347, CHE 442, CHE 448, CHE 449, CHEM 200-599, PHYS 200-599, EVSC 280. *A student cannot receive credit toward the BS degree for both BIOM 204 and CHE 246.
  8. Chosen from a list of chemical engineering electives: CHE 347, CHE 442, CHE 448, CHE 449
  9. Students uncertain about the acceptability of a course to satisfy the degree requirements should seek approval from their advisor and the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, located in Thornton Hall, Room A122.
