Some requirements must be met before taking certain courses in the program, while others may be fulfilled any time before completion of the program. Assessment tests are available in each required area, or acceptable courses may be transferred in. Prerequisites for the BSEM on-line program include inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. These or their transfer equivalents must be taken before BSEM 325 and BSEM 405 . The 62 semester hours required for the degree completion programs consist of 20 semester hours of general education and 42 semester hours of major courses.
All courses are worth four semester hours except for two one-credit topics courses.
General education courses are interdisciplinary in nature, integrating two or more academic areas. As a rule, no courses may be transferred in to substitute for any courses in the degree completion program. Application packets are available from the Office of Adult and Continuing Education.
