General Education Curriculum Requirements (32 hours; required for
most Dedman College students; exemptions are available for transfer students
and for students who complete a double major with an undergraduate degree in
engineering):
Written English (6 hours)
Information Technology (3 hours)

Wellness (2 hours)
Advanced Courses (a total of at least 42 hours from courses at the 3000
level or above; this includes hours from courses used to satisfy other
requirements)
*This course is regularly offered during the school year at the Dallas
campus, but occasionally is also offered at the SMU-in-Taos summer program
at Fort Burgwin, New Mexico. Contact the Geological Sciences Department for
more information.
**BIOL 1402 is prerequisite for BIOL 3307 and BIOL 3343, and BIOL 1401 is
prerequisite for 1402. However, the Biological Sciences Department is
willing to waive the latter requirement for Environmental Chemistry majors
and allow them to enroll in BIOL 1402 without having taken 1401.
CORE COURSES (60 or 61 semester hours)
