Acceptable Math - MSE (ME) Degree

Any engineering-related mathematics course for which MATH 215 and/or MATH 216 are prerequisites may satisfy a math requirement. Below are several commonly elected 400 level courses. Any 500 level or above Math course will satisfy a math requirement. Check the Math Department's website for more election options.

*No more than one Math 417, 419, or 420 to satisfy math requirement.
**No more than one Math 450 or 454 to satisfy math requirement.

In either case, more than one may be taken if one is to satisfy a math requirement
and then one is to satisfy a cognate requirement.
