Chemistry, Biology, Physics I and II, Calculus I and II, Lab I and II, Restrictive Electives I and II, Humanities I thru VIII (8)



POIH…I’m a little confused. If a student is an engineering major, in many cases Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus (and all the labs you have listed) are included in the major.

What is a “restrictive elective” ? At my daughter’s school, that was an elective within the major field.

Does that “8” mean eight credits…because if it does…that means that for a STEM major at your daughter’s school, only 8 credits of non-stem courses are considered core.

At my daughter’s school, they had an 8 COURSE core course requirement that included courses in the humanities, arts, social sciences, history, scienced/math, religion.
