(3) Successful completion of a two-semester sequence of either:

CHY 113 with CHY 114 and CHY 115 with CHY 116

PHY 121 with PHY 114 and PHY 123 with PHY 116

BIO 105 with BIO 106 and BIO 107

ESP 101 with ESP 102 and ESP 125 with ESP 126

______(lab)

Any one of these four options fulfills the Core second tier SE requirement.

(4) Successful completion of enough additional courses from D(2) or the sciences that when combined with the courses taken for D(1), D(2), and D(3) they make at least 30 credit hours of mathematics and science. A science course taken to fulfill this requirement must be one that satisfies a degree requirement within its discipline and if it has an accompanying lab course, the lab must be taken. Ex. If you would like to take additional BIO classes you would look at the requirements for a BIO major, and could choose from that list of classes.
