Some students will choose an approved Area of Concentration, others will explore
STEM disciplines more generally.
• Students must complete their creditEnglish and Mathematics within the first
24 credits.

Sciences), a 4-credit course selected from the GenEd course list will satisfy the
requirement in place of a 3-credit course. Students should check with an advisor
before selecting these courses.
• For the PE/Health requirement, a 3-credit Physical Education or Health course may
satisfy the requirement in place of a 1-credit course. Students should check with
