Enrollment in junior-level aerospace courses is limited to students who have received grades of C- or higher in all first- and second-year courses in mathematics, physics, ME 212, CE 301, CE 310, AE 245, AE 345, and AE 445.
* Students must ensure the electives they choose fulfill all remaining KU Core requirements.
** Technical electives are selected from upper level aerospace courses, approved courses from other engineering departments or approved math courses.
*** Students with credit in CHEM 130 may add CHEM 149 to meet the CHEM 150 requirement.
H Honors equivalent course is available.
