Math (usually Cal 1 or 2, or Math 1500 for HASS and Arch) Science (Chem 1100, Bio, Phys 1 or 2, IEA) H&SS Major Related Dean: I  advise ALL HASS students to take MATH 1010 unless they are confident they either cannot succeed in it or they know they have no interest at all in a math/science/engineering possible dual major down the road. Too many students have decided to dual major in their second or third term only to find they have to go back to pick up Calc I (MATH 1010). In my understanding, the admissions requirements pretty much ensures all incoming students are Calc I-ready.
 * First semester should include these classes:


 * AP credits count as transfer credit; 32 credits maximum. If students have more than 32 transfer credits, they have to choose which to count toward their RPI degree.
