Notes:
1. Transfer Students who have completed two sciences in two different disciplines (BIO, ESS, PHY,CHE; excluding DCCC BIO 102 and SCI courses) before enrolling at EGP at WCU, may substitute these courses for the SCI 101 and SCI 102 requirement. Transfer students who have completed one science course will be required to complete SCI 101 OR SCI 102 at WCU.
2. Students must complete ECE 110, ECE 111 and ECE 121 at DCCC in order to receive credit for EGP 322 - PK Methods and Fieldwork, at West Chester University. Courses not completed as a group will go over individually as electives and not apply towards the Early Grades Program at WCU. DCCC students will also need to request a prerequisite override for ECE 111 in order to register for the course at DCCC. Students should make this request with the Dean of Business, Computer and Social Sciences.
