Total credits for the A.S. Degree in Engineering = 63.

¹ For students planning to transfer to GMU, GWU or UMD, CHM 126 is recommended.

² The PED requirement may be met by one of the following options: PED 116, 2 cr.; PED 220, 2 cr.; PED 116, 1 cr. plus a PED activities course, 1 cr.; or PED 116, 1 cr. plus RPK 205, 207, 208, 216, or 225. PED 116 is offered as both a 1-credit and a 2-credit course.

³ Or substitute CSC 201 (4 cr.).

⁴ Must include one semester of history (American or Western Civilization) plus a second semester of history, economics, psychology, or sociology.

⁵ EGR 206 (2 credits) required at VPI and desirable elsewhere.

⁶ EGR 251 can be substituted for EGR 246.

⁷ Humanities electives may be chosen from ART, ENG, HUM, MUS, PHI, REL, SPD, or foreign languages.

^* These courses are not required for the A.S. degree; however, completion of them is desirable for transfer as a junior in Engineering. Consult the requirements of your transfer institution.
