MSE 101Introduction to Metallurgy and Materials Science2

A student majoring in materials science and engineering may not register for upper-division MSE courses after accumulating more than four grades of D or F in UI mathematics, science, or engineering courses. Included in this number are multiple repeats in a single class or single repeats in multiple classes. A warning will be issued in writing to students who have accumulated two grades of D or F used to satisfy curricular requirements.

A GPA in MSE designated courses of at least 2.0 is required to graduate.
