Prior to enrolling in MFT 151 , students must complete a minimum of 12 hours of curriculum and MFT 131 or approval of the department chair or program director.
Students considering transferring to earn a bachelor’s degree are advised to take ENG 101 and MAT 124 . Discuss this with your academic success advisor before selecting a math or English course.
Students should select a section of CAD 114 with advice from a welding program advisor.
MFT/MFX substitutions are accepted for the following courses:
- MFT 110 = MFX 170 + MFX 171 + MFX 172
- MFT 113 = MFX 130 + MFX 150 + either MFX 131 or MFX 151
WLX substitutions are accepted for WLD 111 , WLD 112 , and WLD 212 .
- WLD 111 = WLX 112 + WLX 113 + WLX 114 + WLX 115
- WLD 112 = WLX 116 + WLX 117
- WLD 212 = WLX 210 + WLX 211
