Transfer credit for foreign languages courses at the University of Illinois will be approved only after a review of the student's high school foreign languages background. Technical courses are available at WIU which may also be taken as electives. For example, civil engineers may take a course in surveying or geology.
Mathematical statistics is recommended for some other fields of engineering.
Econ 231 is a required course in some engineering curricula. Isolated D grades are accepted under certain conditions and may count toward graduation. Transfer students will not be admitted to the University of Illinois unless they have completed 60 s.h. of acceptable credit, excluding credit earned in basic physical education courses. Credits earned in college to remove high school deficiencies in mathematics will count as part of the 60 s.h. This two-year curriculum is designed to prepare students to enter a school of professional forestry with advanced standing.
