Fall/Spring Course Offerings: Please consult with your advisor to ensure the courses are offered in the semester you intend to take them.
In Major GPA: Courses will be used for computing the “in major” GPA.
Prerequisites: Some courses on this checksheet have pre-/co-requisites. Students are required to double check course pre-/co-requisites and equivalents. Please see your advisor or consult the Undergraduate Course Catalog for more information.
Undergraduate Research: All 8 credits are not taken in one semester. They are often split among different semesters
Upon having attempted 72 credit hours, the student will have completed -NANO 1015 Introduction to Nanoscience: From Atoms to Applications AND NANO 1016 Introduction to Nanoscience AND MATH 1025 Elementary Calculus AND MATH 1026 Elementary Calculus AND CHEM 1035 General Chemistry AND CHEM 1036 General Chemistry AND CHEM 1045 General Chemistry Laboratory AND CHEM 1046 General Chemistry Laboratory AND PHYS 2205 General Physics AND PHYS 2206 General Physics AND PHYS 2215 General Physics Laboratory AND PHYS 2216 General Physics Laboratory AND BIOL 1105 Principles of Biology AND BIOL 1106 Principles of Biology AND BIOL 1115 Principles of Biology Laboratory AND BIOL 1116 Principles of Biology Laboratory
120 credit hours are required for graduation. These credits must include the courses required for the major. To graduate, a student must have at least a 2.0 in major GPA and overall GPA.
Students who did not successfully complete at least two years of a single foreign, classical, or sign language during high school must successfully complete six semester hours of a single foreign, classical, or sign language at the college level. Courses taken to meet this requirement do not count toward the hours required for graduation. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog for details.
