University Core of Common Studies (UCCS) and College of Engineering Curricular Requirements

The College of Engineering curricula amplify and deepen the University Core of Common Studies (UCCS) requirements, which are fully described in the University Core of Common Studies section in this bulletin. The implementation of the UCCS within each major is explicitly detailed in each department’s bulletin section.

The following footnotes are referenced in the department curriculum for each of the various majors:

b University Core course

c The Core Electives must satisfy UCCS requirements in the following four Knowledge Areas: Diverse Cultures, Histories of Cultures and Societies, Individual and Social Behavior, and Literature/Performing Arts. See the university bulletin section on University Core of Common Studies for lists of acceptable courses.

d If the previous Core Electives span all four Knowledge Areas (as listed in the previous footnote), a three-credit free elective may be chosen. This situation may exist if one of the student’s core electives is a “dual-application” core course, as described in the section on the University Core of Common Studies.

e The Theology Elective must be selected from the list of acceptable UCCS courses in the Theology Knowledge Area. See the university bulletin section on University Core of Common Studies.

f The UCCS Rhetoric Knowledge Area is satisfied by ENGL 1001 Rhetoric and Composition 1, and ENGL 1002 Rhetoric and Composition 2 or COMM 1100 Contemporary Presentation.
