Notes on curriculum
1Students may substitute PY 205 for PY 201, PY 208 for PY
202, and PY 407 for PY 203. However, they must take the lab section of
PY 203 if they elect to take PY 407.
2The General Education requirement consists of seven courses
(21 hrs) chosen from the University approved lists as follows: two courses
in history/literature, one course in philosophy, religion or the arts;
two courses in psychology, economics, politics, sociology, anthropology
or cultural geography; and two courses in any humanities/social sciences
discipline. One of the courses must focus on a non-English speaking culture.
One of the courses must focus on science, technology and society.
Foreign language proficiency at the FL 102 level is required
for graduation.
3 One of the PE courses must be at the 100 level in Fitness
and Wellness. PE may be taken for credit-only (S/U) grading.
4The PY 414/415 sequence may be taken during the senior year
to allow time for other CSC courses that may be prerequisites for courses
taken in the senior year.
5Students may substitute any Advanced Writing Course on
the University approved GER list for ENG 333.
6Advanced numerical methods are discussed extensively in MA(CSC) 427
and PY 525, both of which are acceptable courses.
