    American History Since 1877 (Hist  176), or American Government (Pol Sc 090).

Economics Requirement (at least 3 credit hrs of economics selected from the following).

    Principles of Macroeconomics (Econ 121)
        or
    Principles of Microeconomics (Econ 122).

Foreign Language Requirement (at least 8 credit hours of a foreign language).

For transfer credit 6 semester hours will meet this requirement.  Also 3 years of a foreign language at the high school level will meet this requirement.  The total number of hours for the major still must be met.

Technical Electives (at least 15 credit hours)

These must be courses in science, engineering, or economics.  Here is another opportunity to customize your degree program.  Advisors will help identify courses to strengthen their studentsí degree programs.
 

Free Electives (21 credit hours).

The student may choose almost any course, with the adviserís approval, to fulfill this requirement.
