The Program Core is a set of courses totaling 38-39 credits which are generally required for all ACMS majors. Exceptions are specifically pointed out in the descriptions of the various options. The core courses will provide a solid foundation from which students may pursue any of the approved degree pathways within the Program.

It is recommended that students complete as many of the First and Second Level Core courses as possible during the Freshman and Sophomore years.

The Third Level Core sequences provide an introduction to a variety of different modeling and analysis techniques on specific problems. These provide breadth to all students in the ACMS program and may be valuable in helping students decide between program options.
