All required IIT courses and courses taken as major electives are major courses and may not be counted toward a minor. All other required courses and electives may be used for a minor or application area as appropriate. CSCE 101 and 102 are not major courses and may not be counted for major credit.
Program GPA
Program GPA requirement policies are described in the College of Engineering and Computing section of this bulletin. For the purpose of these policies, the following courses are used to determine the Program GPA for the Integrated Information Technology B.S. program: all Lower Division Integrated Information Technology courses and all Integrated Information Technology Major courses.
Transfer and Major Change Course Substitutions
The following courses may be used to satisfy IIT degree requirements if they were taken prior to the student becoming an IIT major or through transient enrollment.
