Class standing by credit: Freshman: 0-29 credits; Sophomore: 30-59 credits; Junior: 60-89 credits; Senior: 90+ credits
The number of Free Electives available will vary based on your initial math, writing, and chemistry and physics placement tests.
MAT 100, WRT 101, CHEM 100 and PHY 103, if required, count as elective credit.
Because you have variable options (3 or 4 credit courses) it is important to keep track of your total semester hours to be sure you reach
120 by the end of your 4th year.
