Math: • Math determines your placement into science courses because math is foundational to the sciences. • REMEMBER… Everyone starts in the course that is best for their success at MSU. • Math Placement: • Will determine your math coursework for fall and spring semester. • Do you have transfer/IB/AP credit for mathematics? • Credit MUST be on file. • Every student will take LB 118 eventually. • You will need either LB 119 OR STT 231 (your major determines this) to complete your Lyman Briggs mathematics requirement. • You may take more math, it depends on your interests.

Lyman Briggs Science Coursework: Based on your math placement score, you will be placed into the appropriate math courses and science courses for your first year. Your academic interests will also play into what science courses you take: • First-year students interested in chemistry or biology majors, will likely take chemistry courses. • In order to take biology, you must first understand chemical reactions. • First-year students interested in physics majors, will likely take physics coursework.

History, Philosophy, & Sociology of Science (HPS): History, Philosophy, & Sociology of Science LB 133- Introduction to HPS, tier I University writing requirement •LB 133 will cover University writing requirement WRA 101 LB 321-7A/B Two upper-level HPS courses, tier II University writing requirement •LB 321-7A will cover University Integrative Studies requirement IAH 211+ •LB 321-7B will cover University Integrative Studies requirement ISS 3xx • HPS coursework replaces the University tier writing requirement, WRA 101. • Lyman Briggs students will take LB 133, not WRA 101. • You are completing University requirements in the “Briggs” way, with a science focus through HPS.
University Requirements: Integrative Studies in Social Integrative Studies in Arts & Science (ISS) Humanities (IAH) ISS 200- level IAH 201-210 • Integrative Studies coursework provides a background in social science and arts and humanities. • This coursework is required for graduation. • It can be taken anytime, but it is likely you will take one in your first year. • Honors College (HC) students will not take ISS and IAH courses. Please refer to your appointment with your HC advisor and substitutions you agreed upon during your advising appointment.
Next steps: 1. Continue completing modules. 2. Complete ALL modules at least 1 week before your orientation date. 3. Review activities and resources for this module. 4. Check your MSU email regularly. • We will send you an email providing the specific time during your NSO date that you will meet with an advisor via zoom. 5. Come back to this module, as needed, when you are completing your NSO Homework.
