- Location(s): Main Campus Close Student Success Advisor(s) Sample Degree Plan Program Learning Outcomes CIP Code: 45.0701 Program Information All courses must be passed with a C (2.0) or better to be counted in the major. Some of the requirements fulfilled at other institutions may transfer to SUU and count toward the major with the approval of the Department Chair. A minimum of 18 credit hours, including the capstone project, must be completed at SUU. Some courses are taught every other year or as needed. Consult your Student Success Advisor for scheduling help. Courses may not be repeated more than two (2) times without instructor approval. Credits over 10 years old may not be accepted for use in the major. This program requires the completion of multiple math courses. Students who are not prepared for these math courses may need additional math credits/preparation, which may affect time to graduation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.
