Total Credits - 129

Since Harrisburg includes a First-year seminar as part of EDSGN 100S, students will need to have an extra credit to earn the total
number of credits required for the major.

Courses listed in boldface italic type require a grade of C or better for entrance into this major.
* Offered at Harrisburg only during the semester shown. 1st and 3rd semesters are Fall; 2nd and 4th semesters are Spring.

The preferred course is CMPSC 201. However, this course generally not offered at the Harrisburg campus. CMPSC 121 is generally an
accepted substitute for CMPSC 201 or 202, but students should verify this with their advisor.
+ Courses listed in boldface type require a grade of C or better for graduation in this major.

Select from NUC E program lists. For those students who complete the ROTC Program, 3 ROTC credits may be used to substitute for a
general technical elective and 3 ROTC credits may be used to substitute for the GHA requirement. Three credits of Co-op can be used for the
general technical elective after completion of three Co-op rotations.
