| Students majoring in Applied Science must complete 128 semester credit hours with a 2.0 grade point average for all work entered on the student's permanent record and a 2.0 grade point average for all work accepted toward the major. Students must complete the General Studies requirement, the Applied Science Core, and the approved specialization courses. Applied Science majors transferring or entering the program with an A.S. degree in certain appropriate fields are granted junior year status, but will be expected to make up the difference in general studies and special course requirement. | |||
