Notes

  • Nontechnical credits (in red) from SHU Core Curriculum total 36 credits; FYS 125 meets English Composition requirement & EC 202 meets Principles of Economics requirement
  • Core classes listed in italics are sample options; the order of these could be interchanged
  • Chemistry department will consider waiving the CH 395 Research Project in place of an Introduction to Engineering course or other applied chemistry elective relevant to the student’s future major
  • Materials Science and Engineering majors also require either PY 211 Classical & Quantum Waves or PY 320 Modern Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering majors would need an additional year of Biology & PY 211 Classic & Quantum Waves, necessitating either significant AP transfer credit or additional summer course work to complete all requirements
