  • Students with credit for ENGL 101 do not need to make up the hours with another course.
  • Students who fulfill Goal 4.2 by international status or an experience need to make up the 3 hours with 3 hours of MSEHS (math,

    science, engineering, humanities, or social science).
  • HSES and other activity courses do not count for hours towards graduation. But they may count for scholarship hrs. needed for the year.
  • Students will satisfy KU CORE Goal 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3H, 3N, 5.1 and 6 with completion of the math, science, communication, English, and

    engineering courses required for the degree. Students must select approved courses to satisfy the Goal 2.2, 3S, 4.1, and 4.2

    requirements. Students will not graduate without meeting the requirements for the KU CORE.
  • C&PE courses are only offered 1 time a year in the semester in which they are shown. Failure to take the Math, Science, English, and

    C&PE courses in the order shown may delay graduation by at least 1 yr.
  • Students must complete and earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA in C&PE 211 , C&PE 221, C&PE 325, and C&PE 327 to progress to C&PE 511,

    C&PE 527, C&PE 528, C&PE 618, C&PE 619, or junior year C&PE courses. The cumulative GPA is calculated using the highest grade in

    each course.
  • Students must complete and earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA in C&PE 511, C&PE 522, C&PE 527, C&PE 528, C&PE 618 to progress on to the

    senior year courses C&PE 624, C&PE 627, C&PE 625, C&PE 617 and C&PE 628. The cumulative GPA is calculated using the highest

    grade in each course.
