Note: It is most important to take Calculus I (Math 1127) and Classical Physics I (Physics 1127) as early as possible, as many following courses require them as prerequisites.
CHEM 1127 and ENGL 1117 can be taken at any time, as they are not prerequisites for other courses. COMP 2243 should be taken with C or C++ if possible.
It is entirely possible (though not guaranteed) for a student to finish a B.S. Aerospace Engineering degree in 4 years, 2 at RCTC and 2 at the University of Minnesota.
