|
At least 60 percent of classes must be above 700 level |
|
No more than 6 hours can be taken from outside the department without prior permission |
|
Courses in IMSE the department must be above the 600 level |
|
Courses outside the department must be above the 500 level |
|
No more than 6 hours can be taken at the 500 level. |
|
No course can count as both a core course and an additional operations research course |
|
