Total credits for the entire curriculum = 129

* Note: The University Arts and Letters requirement is 24 credit hours. This consists of: Composition and Literature (one course); University Seminar (one course); History (one course); Social Science (one course); Fine Arts or Literature (one course); Philosophy (two courses); Theology (two courses). The University Seminar may be substituted for one of (whichever is applicable): History; Social Science; Fine Arts or Literature; the first Philosophy; the first Theology.

** This semester was designed to allow students to take another class to explore special interests such as a foreign language. An additional class in this semester is especially encouraged for those planning on studying abroad in the junior year. Please consult your advisor for recommendations.

*** Beginning in the spring semester junior year the student selects either the “structures” track (Opt A) or the “environmental” track (Opt B). Note that by suitable choice of electives, both tracks may be satisfied.

**** The sequence CE 40270 / CE 40280 is often offered in reverse order. The order is annually based on elective considerations.
