1 CSC 107 will be offered in alternate years. Students should take it when it is available.

2 Electives will be chosen with the advice of a faculty advisor. ECO 101 and ECO 102 are recommended. Students considering chemical engineering should take CHM 227 and CHM 228. Consultation with a faculty advisor is strongly encouraged to avoid difficulties in the transfer process. Other courses may be necessary depending on intended engineering major.
