| Artistic (ARTL) | elective |
| Global (GLBL) | elective |
| Humanistic (HUML) | elective |
| Communicative (COML) | Comp I, SEC I and II |
| Quantitative (QNTL) | Calculus I |
| Scientific (SCIL) | Chemistry I |
| Rowan Experience | Fulfilled by: |
| Rowan Seminar (RS) | First Year Engineering Clinic I |
| Writing Intensive (WI) | Senior Engineering Clinic |
| Broad-based lit. (LIT) | Literature-designated Elective |
| Technical Elective Requirements | |
| Approved ENGR, ME, ECE, CHE, CEE, BME 400-level or other approved 400-level courses |
