Note:

No single course can be used to satisfy both a core requirement and elective requirement.

Students without a BS degree in engineering must take, in addition, either the online “bridging course” offered in Jan (1st class) and May (2nd class) by Michigan State University (See http://www.egr.msu.edu/ for details about the bridging courses CHE 804 and 805) or CHE 0300 (sophomore-level) “Transport Phenomena” class offered during the Fall term. Neither of these classes can serve as an elective nor core course substitute in the MS in Petroleum Engineering required classes.
