Students must complete all required courses by the end of spring 2008. Students must have the stated CGPA at the end of fall 2007 to be guaranteed entrance to this major. However, “If there is still space after all of the students who meet these criteria have been accepted, selections are made from the remaining students in the pool of applicants, starting with the highest GPA, until the approved maximum number of students to enter the major is reached. No student with less than a 2.00 cumulative GPA is accepted” (University Undergraduate Advising Handbook). † This major is under administrative enrollment controls for students in the spring 2009 pool.
