* You will need to have two separate plans of study, one for each degree program. Most students require at least 5 semesters to complete the dual degree. See your academic advisor each semester to ensure that you are taking the correct courses for each degree.

The actual schedule of courses will depend on your math and English placement and on whether you have Tech Prep courses to use toward the degree. For some sample course schedules:

• With Tech Prep Electronics credit (placing in Precalculus and Composition)
• Without Tech Prep credit (placing in Intermediate Algebra and Composition)
