Notes

  • As of autumn 2021, MATH 307, MATH 308, MATH 309, and MATH 324 are renumbered as MATH 207, MATH 208, MATH 209, and MATH 224, respectively. Students can apply either the 200- or 300-level number for each course toward their degree requirements.
  • Students may complete the statistics requirement with INDE 315,  Q SCI 381, STAT 290 or STAT 390.
  • IND E 315 may be counted as either a Math class or Engineering Fundamental, but not both.
  • Transfer students: CIVE can accept any second chemistry course after the CHEM 142 equivalent
