| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree |
180 |
| No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 180 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both. | |
| Notes | |
| *Alternate prerequisites are listed in the subject description. | |
| (1) Students who do not take 5.111 or 5.112 to fulfill the General Institute Requirement in Chemistry will have 24 units in the Departmental Program that will also satisfy the General Institute Requirements. | |
