*MTH 101 or appropriate placement by college assessment or ACT score is a prerequisite to ELT 130A. **Students have the option of taking MTH 112 as a replacement for MTH 110 & MTH 111. However, due to transfer agreements with W.S.U., L.S.S.U. and F.S.U. into Electrical Engineering Technology (BSEET) programs, students may want to substitute courses for maximum transfer credit (MTH 113 and MTH 114). Contact Enginering Technology Department at (810) 989-5754 for more details. ***Electives: Must choose from ELT 105, CIS 120, NTR 100 or any AET course. Note: ELT 130A, ELT 130B and ELT 131 combined are equal to one Global Awareness (GA) competency. ELT 231 and ELT 236 together equal one Oral Communication competency. |
