Additional Map Notes:
- Race and Ethnic Studies Requirement: Starting in the 2022-2023 catalog year, all PSU students (including transfers) must fulfill the Race and Ethnic Studies Requirement (RESR). These classes can be part of the Sophomore Inquiry classes and taken in any term of the sophomore year. Two courses required, each minimum 3 credits: one course must focus on the U.S. experience; the second course must center the experiences of groups under European and U.S. colonialism and imperialism beyond the United States. One must be within the School of Gender, Race and Nations or be cross-listed with one of the SGRN units: Black Studies (BST), Chicanx/Latinx Studies (CHLA), Indigenous Nations Studies (NAS), or Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WS). If you choose a RESR course that can be applied towards another requirement, take an elective here instead.
- ECE 211: Students have the option of taking both ECE 211 and 212 during the summer after their sophomore year in a condensed 8-week version.
- Jr/Sr 300/400 Level Elective: The Junior/Senior elective can be any EE, ECE, MTH, CS, ME or PH course numbered 311 or higher.
- Junior 300 Level Elective: The Junior elective is any ECE or EE course numbered 311 or higher.
- Senior 400 Level Elective: The Senior elective is any 400-level ECE or EE course.
- EC 341U and Upper Division Cluster: EC314U is a major requirement. To satisfy the PSU's General Education requirement the other upper division cluster courses must both be from one of these clusters: Design/Thinking; Community Studies; or Knowledge, Values, Rationality. The upper division cluster courses can also be used to meet the RESR requirement but requires careful planning. You are strongly encouraged to discuss with your advisor how best to meet these requirements to avoid needing extra courses.
- You may need to add additional general elective credits to your plan to reach 180 total credits.
