ME Undergraduate Program Courses

The faculty has approval to offer these courses in the academic years 2006-2008; however, not all courses are taught each semester or summer session. Students should consult the Course Schedule to determine which courses and topics will be offered during a particular semester or summer session. The Course Schedule may also reflect changes made to the course inventory after the publication of this catalog.

Unless otherwise stated, each course meets for three lecture hours a week for one semester.

Major Sequence Courses are typically taken after the third semester of the program. In order to take these courses, you must apply for and be accepted into major sequence.

It can also be fulfilled using the Business Foundations Certificate.

Students are also required to take 3 credits in each of the following:
