Important to note, according to the PMU system design of mathematics, the mathematics courses are taken during the freshman and sophomore years. Therefore, changing from a business program to any engineering program or to computer science or computer engineering would ultimately result in an extra year of coursework as the mathematics requirements of the business college are different form the courses required for engineering (with the exception of Interior Design). As such, students who started their coursework in their chosen majors should be aware of the consequences of changing their majors as far as mathematics requirements are concerned.

Advising for the Natural Sciences

• According to PMU system design, all engineering students with the exception of Interior Design students are required to take 12 hours of natural sciences ( Physics for Engineers 1, Physics for Engineers II, Chemistry for Engineers I ).
• Interior Design students are required to take 8 hours (Introduction to Physics and Introductory Geology).
• All business students are required to take 8 hours of natural sciences
• Students in the college of Information Technology are required to take 8 hours (Physics for Engineers I and Physics for Engineers II). Since each major has its specific science requirements, students changing their majors from business to engineering or vice versa should be warned that they will have to take the science requirements of their new chosen major (see figure 7).
