PIRATE TIPS
1.
2.
3.
4.
Any of the required major or cognates may be replaced by courses which cover the same topics more rigorous.ly. Example, CHEM
3950/3960 may be taken instead of CHEM 3850. MATH 2171 and 2172 may be taken instead of the MATH 2121/2122 sequence. PHYS
2350/1251 and PHYS 2360/1261 may be taken instead of the PHYS 1250/1251 and PHYS 1260/1261 sequence. It is students’ responsibility
to ensure that all pre-requisites have been met.
Certain honors & interdisciplinary courses may also be used to satisfy foundations curriculum requirements. Refer to the undergraduate
catalog for appropriate courses for your major.
Hours for MATH 0001, MATH 0045, READ 1032, READ 1033, and READ 1034 do not count toward graduation.
Forensic Science Majors are required to earn a minimum grade of C (2.0) in each of the following courses: CHEM 1150, 1151, 1160,
1161, and MATH 1065.
REMINDERS
At least 25% of total required hours and at least ½ major hours (core/cognate) must be taken at ECU.
You must have 12 hours of WI (writing intensive) courses—with at least 3 hours in the major.
TOTAL HOURS for Graduation: 123 hours (½ of total hours completed at regionally accredited senior college)
