You need to take CHEN 2120 immediately. You will be advised to take the MCEN 3021 course in the fall semester concurrently with CHEN 2120 and the MCEN 3022 course in the spring semester concurrently with CHEN 3220. You must consult with an advisor before making these choices. The curriculum is designed to be completed in 4 years, and we encourage you to do so. We cannot, however, require you to do so.
Many students do take longer to complete their degree.
Reasons for this vary, but include other demands on the student's time require reduced academic loads, by transferring or changing majors partway through the program, the student has a curricular mismatch, academic difficulty requires the student to repeat one or more courses, and the student wants to explore academic areas outside of the standard ChE curriculum. If you have any MAPS deficiencies, you must remedy them before graduation. That may mean that your progress in the ChE curriculum will be altered or delayed because of the requirement to remedy MAPS deficiencies. However, there are also situations, e.g., MAPS deficiencies in math, where the preparatory courses taken to remedy the deficiencies will not count toward your degree. It is most important to consult an advisor regarding MAPS deficiencies.
