General Flow Chart Guidelines
Flow charts are not an official list of degree requirements. Adjustments may be required
due to curriculum changes. Please see degree audit for official list of requirements.
General Education Requirements
24 total credits. Required courses: UN 1015 Composition (3 credits); UN 1025 Global
Issues (3 credits); Critical and Creative Thinking (3 credits); Social Responsibility
& Ethical Reasoning (3 credits); and 12 HASS credits. (3 credits); Social Responsibility
& Ethical Reasoning (3 credits); and 12 HASS credits. Approved lists are available
in EERC 426. See University General Education: Core and HASS Requirements.
UN 1025 Global Issues Language Option
3 credits of 3000-level or higher modern language may be substituted directly for
UN 1025. Any students with previous language experience in Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin
must take the Modern Language Online Placement Test.
HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences)
12 total credits that include a minimum of 3 credits each in: Communication/Composition,
Humanities/Fine Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Approved lists are available
in EERC 426. See Core and HASS Requirements in University General Education Requirements. Six (6) credits must be 3000 level or higher (does not include HU 3120). HU 3120 is
not a HASS course for MET students, but still is a degree requirement. No more than 3 credits may be used from the HASS Restricted List. All 3000-level
or higher HASS courses require UN 1015 and UN 1025 as prerequisites.
Math placement is based on ACT/SAT math score. Students have the option to take the ALEKS placement
test in place of the ACT/SAT placement. Note: MA 1120 (4 credits) fulfills the requirement for MA 1032; MA 1121 (4 credits) fulfills
the requirement for MA 1160/1161.
The Spatial Visualization test is required to enroll in ENG 1101. ENG 1003 is required
concurrently with ENG 1101 if the Spatial Visualization test is not passed. MA 1032 or MA 1160 or MA1161 is a concurrent pre-requisite for ENG 1101.
Any Michigan Tech course(s) or approved transfer course(s) that are 1000-level or
above, and are not duplicated or equivalent courses.
Mainly physical education courses with some additions. Three units (or six half units)
are required for graduation. These units will be included as earned hours and may
be used to determine full-time enrollment status. These are in addition to the total
credits required for the degree. A co-curricular list is available in EERC 423. See
Co-curricular Requirements in General Education Requirements. These units are graded pass/fail and are not included in credit hours used for calculation
of any grade point averages (cumulative or departmental).
Transfer, Advanced Placement, or Study Abroad Courses
These courses are not included in credit hours used for GPA calculations. Transfer
credit is awarded for Michigan Tech equivalent course work only if a grade of ‘C’
or better (2.00/4.00) or equivalent is earned at a transfer institution. Study abroad
credit will be awarded by International Programs and Services based on passing a course
according to equivalent international standards. Advanced Placement credit is awarded
according to published AP Exam score standards.
