*Students who score a C on the Proficiency Exam must take AE 101/AE 102, while students who score a C+ must take AE 111/AE 112. Those who score an A or B are required to take two HSS Elective courses. 
 
** You may either take MATH 102 or MATH 201.
 

*** These elective courses should be 3 credits. Different course credits cannot be added up to make up a 3-credit course (E.g. A 1-credit course and another 2-credit course together cannot be counted as a 3-credit unrestricted course). Get the approval of your advisor before adding any courses as unrestricted electives.
