CORE (General Education Requirements) for Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Seven courses are indicated as "CORE Program Requirements" in the above Sample Program. University CORE requirements are composed of courses from the categories listed below. See the most current listings of approved CORE courses at the CORE website or the Schedule of Classes.

  1. CORE Fundamental Studies (3 courses)
    • ENGL101 Introduction to Writing (included in Sample Program)
    • ENGL393 Technical Writing (included in Sample Program)
    • MATHxxx Mathematics (ENCH students automatically satisfy this.)
  2. CORE Distributive Studies (9 courses)
    • 3 courses from humanities and the arts
    • 3 courses from social sciences and history
    • 3 courses from mathematics and sciences (ENCH students automatically satisfy this.)
  3. CORE Advanced Studies (2 courses at 300-400 level outside the major)
    • Cap Stone (ENCH446; ENCH students automatically satisfy this.)
    • CHEM4xx (ENCH students automatically satisfy this.)
  4. CORE Human Cultural Diversity (1 course)

Certain courses from humanities & arts and social sciences & history may be double-counted as a Core Human Cultural Diversity course. Check the Schedule of Classes for the current list.

Engineering Student Affairs Office handles all CORE related issues. Seniors are limited to 1 CORE per semester; obtain override from Engineering Student Affairs Office, 1124 Martin Hall.
