Students majoring in materials science engineering must earn a grade of C or better in each of the following courses before registration is permitted in upper-division materials science engineering courses: Chem 111 and Chem 112, Engr 210 and Engr 335, Math 275 and Math 310, MSE 201, and Phys 211 and Phys 212.
A passing grade is required in each of the following courses before registration is permitted in upper-division materials science engineering courses: computer science elective, Math 170 and Math 175, and MSE 101.
Any student majoring in materials science engineering may accumulate no more than four grades of D or F in UI mathematics, science, or engineering courses that are used to satisfy junior certification requirements. 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 in UI mathematics, science, or engineering courses used to satisfy curricular requirements.
An average GPA of at least 2.0 is required for all materials science engineering courses used to satisfy the curricular requirements.
