Footnotes:

(Major GPA based on all EIU courses in chemistry, industrial technology, mathematics, and physics taken from the list above.)

Students completing cooperative degree programs, i.e., Engineering and Clinical Laboratory Sciences, will not be required to take a senior seminar.

¹ These courses should be selected in consultation with the chairperson of the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee to ensure that Eastern’s General Education requirements and UIUC requirements are both fulfilled.

² Students are encouraged to take all of these courses, but one or more may not be required in certain engineering fields.

³ This course should be repeated each semester that a student attends Eastern.  In the case of course conflicts with this course, a waiver should be obtained from the Chair of the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee.

⁴ This course has a pre-requisite of Physics 3080.

⁵ This course has a pre-requisite of Physics 3410.

⁶ A limit of 3 hours of Physics 4444, 4555, 4600, 4644, or 4800 may be counted toward the degree.
