| 1 | English course selection is based on placement test results (ENGL 1111 English Composition I (B) is 4 credits, only 3 credits apply to the degree). |
| 2 | Students may substitute either COMM 1000 Effective Public Speaking or COMM 1100 Effective Interpersonal Communications. One of these 3 credit courses may be required for students transferring to a four-year college. |
| 3 | MATH 1180 Technical Mathematics I and MATH 1280 Technical Mathematics II will also transfer with additional coursework required. MATH 1650 College Algebra (A) is the prerequisite for MATH 2400 Calculus for Business, Social, and Life Sciences course. This course meets the requirements for the Mechanical Technology Design Degree (9440). MATH 1700 Trigonometry is the prerequisite for the MATH 2500 Calculus and Analytical Geometry I course. This course meets the requirements for the Mechanical Technology Design Degree (9440). The MATH 2500 Calculus and Analytical Geometry I level course is the preferred entry skill level for transfer. |
| 4 | Preferred courses for transfer. PHYS 1100 Applied Physics Mechanics and PHYS 1200 Applied Physics Heat and Thermodynamics will also transfer with additional coursework required. |
