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. |
