*MATH 108: For information about the math placement test required to enroll in MATH 108, please visit the following link: http://math.gmu.edu/placement_test.htm
**ENGL 302: You may take either the natural science or the business section (the natural science is sometimes referred to as Natural Science and Technology), however, the IT department recommends taking the business section because it is more relevant to the areas that most students will be working on after they graduate.
Usually, all the IT core and foundation courses are offered during the summer semesters with the exception of IT 492 and IT 493. There is, however, no guarantee.
