Courses to Complete Dual Degrees in LFOT and EET

Revised for Fall 2011

Note: This is a suggested sequence for completing two degrees in four semesters and two summers.You should always refer to the current plan of study for current program requirements.

This suggested sequence is quite rigorous and assumes you will not work many hours at an outside job, play video games, hang out, watch soap operas, etc.  Most students choose to complete the two degrees in five (or even six) semesters. Completing in four semester requires taking Telecommunications in Semester III.

Courses in BLUE are taken for the LFOT degree only

Courses in RED are taken for the EET degree only

All courses must be taken to earn both degrees.
