University of Minnesota Materials Science Engineering 4-year Plan

The above is from the University’s Materials Science Engineering curriculum guide: sample 4-year plan on the last page.

Here is a sample RCTC course plan:

First Year Fall	Credits	First Year Spring	Credits
MATH 1127 Calculus I	5	MATH 1128 Calculus II	5
PHYS 1127 Classical Physics I	5	PHYS 1128 Classical Physics II	5
CHEM 1127 Chemical Principles I	4	CHEM 1128 Chemical Principles II	4
ENGL 1117 Reading and Writing Critically I	4	ENGR 2211 Statics	3


Second Year Fall	Credits	Second Year Spring	Credits
MATH 2237 Multivariable and Vector Calculus	5	MATH 2238 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra	5
CHEM 2127 Organic Chemistry I	5	PHYS 2227 Modern Physics	3
BIOL 1220 Concepts of Biology	4	Liberal Education course

Note: ENGL 1117 and Biology can be taken at any time, as they are not prerequisites for other courses. It is most important to take Calculus I (Math 1127) and Classical Physics I (Physics 1127) as early as possible, as many following courses require them as prerequisites.
