Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

This is a sample academic plan only and is not meant to replace regular academic advising. This plan is flexible, and can be changed to accommodate Study Abroad, a second major and/or minor, or AP/IB credits. Completion of a minor or second major fulfills the GE I/M Cluster. Students should work with an academic advisor to develop a plan that meets their specific needs.

Minimum of 120 credits required to graduate, 42 must be upper division.

*MATH 115 , MATH 116 is an accelerated two-semester calculus sequence that is an alternative to the MATH 110 , MATH 111 , MATH 210 sequence. The MATH 115 , MATH 116 sequence is recommended for Mathematics majors but they can substitute the MATH 110 , MATH 111 , MATH 210 sequence if they choose.

**Mathematics/Civil Engineering majors are required to take FFC 100B - First Year Foundations: Grand Challenges in Science and Engineering , as well as SCI 150 , SCI 200 and SCI 250 .
