Freshman courses required of all BS majors include (all must be completed with a grade of "C" or better) ENGL 1311, ENGL 1312 (or equivalent ESOL courses) HIST 1301, HIST 1302 MATH 1411 These courses should be completed before the student reaches Junior standing (60 semester credit hours). Note that these and all freshman courses specified as required for the degree must be completed before Senior standing (90 semester credit hours) in order to count toward the minimum hours required for the degree. The prerequisite for MATH 1411 (credit with a "C" or better in MATH 1508 or MATH 1410 or placement) is required in order to declare a major. It is to the student's advantage to continue enrolling in the other required mathematics courses since success in these courses largely depends upon what was learned in the previous course and delaying enrollment in higher level courses often requires considerable review. Required Lower-Division Courses in the Major and Minor should be completed with a "C" or better before enrollment in upper-division courses. These lower-division courses are listed below. Other lower-division College of Science courses required for the various degree plans are included in brackets. These courses should also be completed with a "C" or better before enrolling in upper-division courses if the discipline is the minor.
