*A minimum C (2.000) grade must be earned in TECH 31000 or TECH 33092 to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement.
**Four credits hours (each course comprising 1 or 2 credits) elective are required, with a minimum 2 credits upper division. These electives may be taken in any semester provided the total semester hours do not exceed 16. These electives may be satisfied by TECH 33092 Cooperative Education-PRofessional Development. While students are strongly encouraged to take at least one semester of cooperative education, this may not be possible; hence it is not required. Students are strongly urged to talk to their professional advisor about the electives and ensuring the experienctial learning requirement (ELR) is fulfilled.
