Step 5: Additionally, students must choose two AEC courses from AEC 1 and AEC 2, (Check AEC Course Listing), along with an MDC Course (Check MDC Course listing) from any department other than their Major discipline (unless the student is doing double Major).

Step 6: If students encounter uncertainty during their course selection process, they can click on the syllabus to access the respective syllabus of the program or course they are interested in. Additionally, they may reach out to the course coordinator for personalized counseling, or seek guidance from the Department coordinator or Faculty advisor.
