Notes
PLEASE NOTE: CSC 100 is covered in EGR 120. CSC 201 has a corequisite of MTH 173. CSC 202 will substitute for EGR 240 in the NVCC Electrical Engineering Specialization.
MTH 285 or 291 will substitute for the CHM requirement in NVCC's Electrical Engineering specialization. In addition to the NVCC A.S. degree requirements in Engineering, students are encouraged to take MTH 285 to meet the additional requirements for the B.S. in Computer Engineering. Students must see their faculty advisor for any other course possibilities.
While credit for EGR 251, 252 and 255 satisfies Mason's ECE 280, the student is responsible for mastering MATLAB prior to enrolling in Mason's ECE 220. Students should access http://ece.gmu.edu/matlab/matlab.html.
Please Note: Not all NVCC Humanities/Fine Arts electives qualify as General Education Elective requirements (i.e. ENG 211-212, Creative Writing I&II and ART 121-122, Drawing I&II) for NVCC.
Mason offers a variety of discipline and interdisciplinary minors. Consult the Mason catalog for more information.
While other VCCS courses may also qualify for some of the categories above, we have included those that are most often available. We strongly recommend that you work closely with your VCCS Counselor or Faculty Advisor to assure the most appropriate choices for your major.
