Courses Acceptable for Lecture / Lab or Lecture / Lab / Field Requirements
NOTE: You must read course descriptions in General Catalog for info whether lec/lab MUST be taken together, or if can be pursued separately. Some labs have fewer seats than lecture, and are thus NOT required to be taken concurrently. (Examples: IB 117/L, 131/L, 132/L) A course from this list "counts" for Lec/Lab only if LAB is completed by time of graduation.
