**General education courses are chosen jointly by student and advisor to ensure that all graduation requirements are met. Non-AAS degreed students must satisfy University and Department General Education requirements. AAS degreed students must satisfy Department General Education requirements.

***Major elective courses are approved by the Department as major electives for the respective program. A list is maintained in and published by the Department.

****Transfer students with an AAS may have completed differing science courses at the community college. Generally, AAS transfer students entering the Mechanical or Electrical ET programs will take Chemistry in the junior year at UNC Charlotte; however, the following chart will provide additional guidance for fulfilling the science requirement at UNC Charlotte:
