Notes:
- Bold type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better.
- Italic indicates courses that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
- Bold italics indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better and that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
- GWS, GHA, GQ, GN, GA, GH, and GS are codes used to identify General Education requirements.
- W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirements.
- If you have not completed two years of high school study of one foreign language and graduated in the year 2001 or later, you must also schedule 3-4 credits of college level foreign language (in addition to your program requirements).
- A METBD student must complete general education requirements, the requirements for the major, the number of elective credits required, and earn at least a minimum 2.00 grade-point average.
- General education requirements include 6 credits of arts (GA), 6 credits of humanities (GH), 6 credits of social and behavioral sciences (GS), 3 credits of health and physical activity (GHA), 9 credits of natural sciences (GN), 9 credits of writing/speaking (GWS), and 6 credits of quantification (GQ).
- Also required are 3 credits of United States cultures (US), 3 credits of International Cultures (IL) which can be used to satisfy part of the general education requirements. A (USI) may count for either category, but not both.
