Notes

  • PSU: WR 227 is a required class for part of your Arts and Letters / Social Science Credits.
  • OSU: CH242 is required as a prerequisite for CH 243 at PCC. CH242 transfers to OSU as CH 337. This can be used as part of a chemistry minor. Environmental Engineers with CH 337 need to take one additional chemistry course to earn a chemistry minor.
  • PSU: Students should take ENR 101, ENGR 102, and GEO 265 for credit as CE 111, CE 112, and CE 115. These classes need to be transferred as a block. GEO 265 will not count as a Gen Ed class when used as part of the CE 111, 112, and 115 transfer.
