Notes

1. Alternative program electives may be substituted with permission from the program advisor.
2. HRM 200 and MSCI 311 are recommended program electives.
3. CHEM electives may require additional Math or Physics prerequisites and should be chosen in consultation with a chemistry academic advisor.
4. Students can choose to emphasize one of the following Business areas by selecting or substituting appropriate program electives into their program. Students should note that this may require an additional term(s) of study:
   • International Business: AFM 333 and INDEV 100
   • Entrepreneurism: BET 300 and MSCI 311
   • Technical Development: MSCI 311, MSCI, 421, and MSCI 423
   • Strategic Operations: ECON 311 and MSCI 311
5. Program outlines and course sequencing information are available on the Science and Business website.
