Note:

EDCI 2500  will count as one of the General Education social science courses and PHIL 2786  as one of the approved social science/humanities courses. Some general education courses are taken in different years than in the standard curriculum. Students should plan their course work so that the last semester of the senior year can accommodate the 12 hours that are required to be taken concurrently (EDCI 4006  and EDCI 3136 ). PHYS 4125  and PHYS 4132  are not required for this concentration, but may be used as physics 4000 electives.
