Notes

  • α. OSU: PCCs MTH 253 + MTH 261 will be accepted to satisfy MTH 306. MTH 253 is also a PCC prerequisite for MTH 254, MTH 256, and MTH 261.
  • β. PSU: ENGR 101 and ENGR 114 are not direct replacements for ME120, ME121, and ME122. ENGR 101 and ENGR 114 serve to fulfill the freshman engineering requirements and transferred as a complete block.
