IMPORTANT NOTES:

The sequence of General Education courses is an example only; they may be taken in any order.

Students may count 1 Communications, Quantitative or Values course towards GenEd Group A, B, or C. This sample programs counts 25.103/104 as both Communications and Group A.

Some major elective courses also may be used for the GenEd Distribution. If one or more of these courses are selected, then take free electives to reach 120 credits. For example, students taking 20.384, 30.205, & 35.320 as major electives could satisfy all Group A and then take 9 Free Elective credits to reach 120 total credits. 071408
