• PHYS 1012 - General Physics Laboratory I (1 cr.)  

Admission Index

The admission index is based on the academic performance in the Criteria Courses listed above and any of the additional courses of Computer Science requirements. Any course taken towards the Computer Science requirements is considered in the Admission Index (excluding the core curriculum and general electives). The index is the GPA for all courses included in the Criteria and Additional Courses with an Additional Increment of 0.01 per credit of successfully completed Additional Courses, with a grade of B or above, as indicated in the following:
