Total Minimum Credits to Complete: 31-33ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements can be found in course details. Students are strongly encouraged to complete any ENG and MTH requirements first. Students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)-related transfer degrees should take MTH 161 or higher to fulfill their math requirements. Students pursuing non-STEM majors (i.e. liberal arts, social sciences, communication, etc.) should take MTH 154. Please note that students must consult with an advisor since math requirements of different majors vary by program and transfer institution. STEM majors should take BIO 101-BIO 102 or CHM 111-CHM 112. Students should enroll in the highest-level foreign language course for which they are prepared. Heritage or conversationally fluent speakers may enroll directly into 102. Students should regularly meet with their faculty advisor and check their degree progress by accessing advisement reports in the Student Information System (SIS) in the myBrightpoint portal or the Academic Planner in Navigate.
