1 In selecting VA, GL, SL and RH courses, students should consult with their faculty advisor. As long as students meet RHIT requirements for these courses, the actual course sequence is flexible.  The timing of these should be determined with the advisor's assistance.

2 Science electives include any course in physics, chemistry, geology, applied biology, mathematics, or physics.  Science electives may be taken at any time to meet the curriculum guidelines. Timing should be determined with the advisor's assistance.

3 Technical electives are any 4 credit course in chemistry, computer science, engineering, applied biology, geology, mathematics, or physics.  Non-civil engineering technical electives must be approved in advance by the Department Head.

4 Choose CE elective from CE421 (typically offered in the Winter quarter), CE442 (typically Fall quarter), or CE563 (typically Fall quarter).
