Total Credit Hours: 130

¹ Calculus II (MATH 2242), Principles of Physics I (PHYS 2211K), and Principles of Physics II (PHYS 2212K) are recommended in Area D. 

² College credits can be given for high school pre-engineering program Project Lead The Way’s (PLTW’s) Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) course as a possible substitution for Engineering Graphics (ENGR 1133 ), if the following three conditions are satisfied:

• student scores 80% or above overall in the course and
• an approval of the PLTW affiliate director faculty member at Georgia Southern.
• student scores 70% or above on a Georgia Southern administered competency exam.

³ While Calculus I (MATH 1441 ) is 4 credit hours, only 3 credit hours will count toward fulfilling Area A2. The remaining 1 credit hour will be applied toward Specific Requirements.
