- Depending on placement
- Choose a 200-level course that meets the below attributes:
- NCC Social Science (SBS), and
- SUNY GE Social Sciences (SSBS) - Choose a course that meets the below attributes:
- NCC Social Science (SBS), and
- Diversity: Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (SDES), and
- One of: US History / Civic Engagement (SUSC) or World History / Global Awareness (SWHI)
* If Civic Discourse was not completed by the fourth semester, the course must also have the SCIV attribute. - ENS 106 is recommended.
- Students transferring to programs requiring two Natural Science courses should take a Natural Science elective here (CHE 152 recommended). The General Education Elective will then be taken in the 4th semester in place of the ENS, MAT, CSC, or Natural Science Elective.
- For Electrical Engineering, take ELT 214 in the 2nd semester and ELT 217 in the 3rd semester. The General Education Elective will then be taken in the 4th semester in place of the ENS, MAT, CSC, or Natural Science Elective.
- For Computer Engineering, take CSC 120 instead.
- For Computer Engineering, take CSC 130 instead.
- For Chemical or Environmental Engineering, choose a Natural Science course from the approved electives list instead.
- For Computer or Electrical Engineering, choose a CSC or MAT course from the approved electives list instead.
