Enrollment in an approved advanced course that entails writing of either a term paper or a laboratory report, taken along with the 0-credit MAR 459 or SUS 459 (S/U grading)
The advanced writing component of the major in ATM requires registration in, and satisfactory completion of the 0-credit MAR 459 or SUS 459 (S/U grading) along with enrollment in an approved advanced course that entails writing of either a term paper or a laboratory report. Completion of MAR 459 with a grade of S will also result in fulfillment of the WRTD requirement.
Of the approximately 65 credits, no more than one course (4 credits) with a grade lower than C can be credited to the major.
Completion of the major requires approximately 65 credits. Of these, no more than one course (4 credits) with a grade lower than C can be credited to the major.
