Students completing a major in the College of Engineering must complete a sequence of math courses. Students that have transfer credit for Calculus based courses that are not listed in their intended major math sequence should discuss possible substitutions with their academic advisor.
Every major in the College of Engineering publishes curriculum sheets each year to provide general information about degree requirements and a sample projection of coursework.

Common Math Course Substitutions
Below are some common math course substitutions for students interested in taking additional math coursework beyond the minimum requirements for their major.
For example, a student in a major that requires Math 2177 could instead choose to fulfill that requirement by taking both Math 2173 and Math 2174.
- Math 2177 can be substituted with both Math 2173 and Math 2174
- Math 2174 can be substituted with both Math 2568 and Math 2415
- Math 2415 can be substituted with Math 2255 and either Math 4512 or Math 4557
Please consult with your engineering advisor about math course substitutions for your major.
