Notes

* Students should consider taking MATH 24004 and MATH 25004 (Calculus I and II) instead of Applied Calculus to provide more degree and graduate school options in the future.

† After taking PHYS 20103/20101 or CHEM 10234, students should complete the year via the next courses in the sequence (PHYS 20203/20201 or CHEM 14204). Students should also consider taking the sequence PHYS 20303/20331 & PHYS 20403/20431 to provide more degree and graduate school options in the future.

‡ Major electives must be chosen from upper-level courses from CESC, CPSC, IFSC, CRJU, and BINS with the approval of an advisor
