The following engineering departments restrict any free electives to 3 credit hours if not in Science or Engineering:Aerospace, , Architectural, Chemical/Biochemical, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical
Three departments have some hours of free electives and they are NOT restricted:Engineering Mgmt (6)Metallurgical Engineering (5)Nuclear Engineering (6)
These five engineering departments don’t currently have any free electives in their curricula:Ceramic, Civil, Geological, Mining, Petroleum
Technical electives – usually must be approved by major advisor. Specific degree programs and emphasis areas may require specific courses (see Course Catalog)

Math Placement
Math Placement Testing for New Transfer Students• Tool to help insure that new students are taking the
appropriate math class.• Two Tests– MMPT– Trigonometry
• Students who need testing should be referred to http://braintrax.mst.edu/ to brush up on their skills before the test.
![Page 19: Total Hours for Degree](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814657550346895db373b3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Math PlacementTesting Guidelines for Engineering, Math, Science, and Computer Science MajorsFollow these guidelines for any major that requires Math 008 or 014. Students who have completed the equivalent of Calculus II with a grade of C or better ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO TEST.Students who will have completed the equivalent of Calculus I with a grade of C or better by the
time they transfer to S&T and DO NOT have AP or college credit for trig ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE TRIG PLACEMENT TEST ONLY.
Other students must take both the algebra and trigonometry placement tests. (Note: Low grades in Calculus I or II may indicate problems with algebra or trig skills. Math placement scores can help the advisor to better advise the student.)
If a student who requires math testing has never taken a trigonometry class and has no trig background, the student MAY CHOOSE to not take the trigonometry test and, consequently, will be required to take trig (Math 6) at Missouri S&T. The student must still take the algebra test.

Math Placement
Testing Guidelines for IST, Business, Economics MajorsStudents who have completed the equivalent of Business Calculus (Math 012) ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST.Other students must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST.
Testing Guidelines for Other MajorsFollow these guidelines for any major that does not require calculus or business calculus.
History, English, psychology, majors do not need placement testing as new students.Students who have completed the equivalent of College Algebra (Math 004) or a higher math course with a grade of C or better ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST.Others must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST.
Again, when advising “exploratory” students, be careful to keep their options open by choosing a math sequence that could lead to Calculus 1

Biological Sciences Note
Chemistry Courses are Key Pre-requisitesBiological Sciences majors are strongly encouraged to complete 2 semesters of general chemistry and of organic chemistry before transferring. These are pre-requisites for many upper-level biological sciences courses.
Biological Sciences BS requires:9 hours of general chemistry (Chem 1,2,3 &4)8 hours of organic chemistry (Chem 221 & 226, 223 & 228)
3 hours of general biochemistry (Chem 361)

Discussion Topic:• What resources does your institution offer in the way of
Career Exploration?
• Where does a student go to discuss their intended major, and any change of major they are contemplating?
