*These four courses are similar to undergraduate courses at UW-Stout in the BS MFGE program and may not be taken by those alumni. However,
they can substitute other courses from the list to meet the program requirements. Refer to the program website for the latest course offerings.
Note: Students in this program are required to purchase their books and/or software as needed for each course.
***Field project or thesis requires research adviser form approval. Students write a 2 to 3 page research proposal, which becomes the invitation
for faculty to advise their field project/thesis.
