<ul>
<li>Math: frosh calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations</li>
<li>Physics: calculus-based physics for physics and engineering majors (usually three or four courses)</li>
<li>Chemistry: some four year universities require one or more chemistry courses for the physics major; check your target four year universities</li>
<li>Computer science: introductory computer science courses are often recommended or required; check your target four year universities</li>
<li>Breadth or general education courses for your target four year universities (e.g. English composition, humanities, social studies)</li>
