Major Requirements

Effective Fall 2014, the ERE major requires a total of 120 units, including General Education.  Forty-five of the total units are lower division major courses and 39 units of upper division major courses. In addition, students must choose 3 design electives and one upper division science elective.  A challenging four year graduation plan may be found at the link in the Course Selection Advice section. Many students with transfer credits and other interests schedule a different route through the major. These students often find it easiest to schedule their courses using the department flow chart which graphically links the required course by their prerequisites.
