* Meets University General Education Requirement .
|
1 Mathematics placement depends on high school courses and grades, ACT scores, and BA/BS requirements. MATH 130 or any calculus course is a prerequisite to Physics. At least two courses must satisfy the University General Education Requirement in Quantitative Reasoning .
|
2 Students who have previously completed BIOL 101 and BIOL 102 may substitute these two courses for BIOL 130 .
|
3 This plan assumes a student has had enough language background in high school to begin an intermediate language sequence at UT, Knoxville.
|
4 Bachelor of Science students must complete a minimum of 6 credits from at least two departments for the social science requirement. The two courses must satisfy the University General Education Requirement in Social Sciences .
