Introduction This document is intended to be a guide to the curriculum for VIPER students. Note, however, that for
both your major in the College of Arts and Science (often referred to with the acronym for the whole
School of Arts and Sciences, SAS) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) major, you
will have a major/faculty advisor and should consult with them about the requirements for your majors.
First Semester Recommended VIPER Schedule
Since VIPER is a dual degree program, courses taken by VIPER students in the first semester will largely
depend on the majors chosen within SAS and SEAS. Below is a rough guideline. Students should choose
tentative majors in both SAS and SEAS in order to choose the best schedule.
Refer to each major’s course requirement listed on the department’s website and/or in the Course
Planning Guide for more details on each major’s requirements. Brief descriptions of each and links to
details are given later in this document.
The course recommendations below do not take into account any Advance Placement credits you may
have so make sure to read the placement sections below.
MATH 104 (or appriate level Mathematics)—See below for Mathematics placements
CHEM 101 (or appriate level Chemistry)— See below for Chemistry placements
CHEM 053
PHYS 150 or 140 (or appriate level Physics)—See below for Physics placements

* An internal departmental examination is also available for credit. See below for more
details and NSO Placement Exam Schedule
Which Math, Chemistry and Physics courses should you start with? One of the most difficult things to determine before your freshmen year is which Mathematics, Physics
and Chemistry courses to take. Hopefully the information below will help.
Math Placement
Detailed placement information is listed on the Mathematics website:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/ugrad/advising.html
Passing the external Advanced Placement BC Exam administered by the College Entrance
Examination Board with a score of 5 gives credit for Math 104. Lower scores on the BC
Exam receive no course credit. No credit is given for the AB Exam.
Students who plan to enroll in a Math course in their first year at Penn are expected to take the Penn
Math Diagnostic first. This test will guide you in your choice of the appropriate entry course.
To take the diagnostic, go to the website: https://upenn.instructure.com/courses and sign in using your
PennKey and password. You will see a "course" called "Penn Math Diagnostic Group x" where x is a
number between 1 and 9. Click on this to enter the course. You will see a link to the Math Diagnostic
Placement Test and a date by which you are asked to complete it. Follow the instructions, including that
you make sure to take the diagnostic test during an uninterrupted time block. The test is timed for 90
minutes but you may complete it in less time depending on your previous math experiences.
The problems on the diagnostic test cover a broad range of topics and skills. You
should expect to encounter problems that you cannot solve. The idea is to solve
what you can within the timeframe. Remember that the purpose of the test is to
guide you in finding a starting place, not to evaluate your ability to achieve your
math potential.
If you need an extension because you are unavailable during your assigned testing period, please
request an extension by clicking on this link:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/diagnostic-extension
If you encounter any technical trouble, please email [email protected]. For further information
see our Diagnostic FAQ at the following link
http://www.math.upenn.edu/ugrad/diagnosticFAQ.txt
Chemistry Placement
A score of 5 on the AP Chemistry exam earns a student Chemistry 091 credit. One can also
take a placement exam given by the Chemistry Department. This is strongly
recommended. See more the Chemistry’s detailed information regarding placement
here: http://www.chem.upenn.edu/chem/undergraduate/advanced.php
Chem091 is used to indicate the equivalent of 1 c.u. (1 semester) of introductory chemistry
based solely on standardized exam performance (high school AP exam, etc.) Chem 091
does not correspond exactly to either Chem101 or 102. HOWEVER, credit for Chem091
can be converted into either Chem101 or 102 by taking the Chemistry Department
Placement exam (and doing well).
For exam registration inquiries, please contact Billy Werner in the undergraduate office. 215-898-8311 or [email protected]
For VIPER students planning to take Introductory Chemistry, the Honors Chemistry series
Chem115 and Chem116 (equivalent to Chem101 and 102), is most appropriate.
Physics Placement
5 on the Physics-B Physics 091, 092 (2 c.u.)
5 on the Physics-C (Mechanics) Physics 093 (1 c.u.)
5 on the Physics-C(Electricity and Magnetism) Physics 094 (1 c.u.)
Please see the Department of Physics and Astronomy website for further details on lab
requirements.
A further explanation of the Penn Physics AP equivalents is here:
http://www.physics.upenn.edu/ugrad/AP%20credit.pdf
For students who took AP Physics in high school and are planning to major in Physics, the
Honors Physics series Physics170 and Chem171 (equivalent to Physics150/151), may be
most appropriate.
Physics 140, 1.0 credit units, is equivalent to Physics 150, but without the lab. Physics 150 is 1.5
credit units and has a lab and lecture component. Of the majors most likely for VIPER
students, Physics 150 is required of the Physics, Computer Engineering, and Electrical
Engineering majors. Physics 150 is also recommended for anyone considering medical
school in the future.
Appropriate 100-level engineering course for the SEAS major
Depending on your SEAS major, a different 100-level Engineering course is recommended in the first
semester. Consult with your SEAS faculty advisor, but the general recommendations are:
Bioengineering (BE): BE100
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE): CBE150 Electrical Engineering (EE): EE111 and CIS 110
Materials Science and Engineering (MSE): MSE220, EAS101, or other Tech Elective
Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM): MEAM 110 (If you have AP credit for the "C" Mechanics Exam [PHYS 093] then
take EAS 105 or MEAM 101) MEAM 147 (If you have AP credit [PHYS 050] then take EAS 105 or MEAM 101)
MEAM110, 147
Social Science or Humanities Elective/Writing Course/College
Sector/Foundational Approach Course
As a dual degree student, you will want to choose your general requirement courses carefully so that in
many cases your courses fulfill both the College and SEAS general requirements.
Some examples:
A student could take History 120, fulfilling both the College’s “History and Tradition
Sector” requirement, as well as the Engineering “Social Science and Humanities”
breadth requirement.
A student could take Economics 001 (ECON001), fulfilling the College’s “Society Sector”
requirement, as well as the Engineering’s “Social Science and Humanities” breadth
requirement. That student could then later take Economics 002 (ECON002), and
therefore have ECON001 and ECON002 fulfill both the Engineering’s “Social Science and
Humanities” breadth and depth requirements.
Details regarding College requirements
Courses fulfilling College requirements
Details regarding SEAS Social Science Humanities Breadth and Depth Requirements
Students are strongly encouraged to complete their writing requirement in their freshmen year. To
meet College requirements, students may not use A.P. credit to satisfy the writing requirement, and
must take the course for a letter grade. The guidelines for fulfilling this requirement in the College are
here. Satisfying the College writing requirement will also fulfill the writing requirement in SEAS.
VIPER students will take the VIPER freshmen seminar in the spring of their freshmen year and the fall of
their sophomore year. This course can be used toward one College sector requirement. One other
“Sector” course can also double count with your major. The College “Foundational Approaches”
requirements can also double count with classes from your majors and with courses you take for SEAS
requirements and the College Sector requirements.
The Basics of the Majors
While VIPER students come to Penn as “Undecided” in the College and “Curriculum Deferred” in SEAS, it
is important to consider your likely majors in each school so that you plan accordingly. The most likely
majors for VIPER students include Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Environmental Science from the College
and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Electrical
Engineering (EE), or Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) from SEAS. Other science
and engineering majors are also possible, including Mathematics.
Physics
The details, restrictions and policies of the Physics Major are listed online here. Always consult with
your faculty/major advisor.
The Basics:
The major in physics is divided into a core requirement plus all of the courses in one of five
concentrations: Advanced Physical Theory and Experimental Techniques, Chemical Principles, Computer
Techniques, Astrophysics, or Business and Technology. There is an overall requirement of 17 1/2 or 18
1/2 credit units (c.u.), depending on the concentration chosen. There is also an honors program for
ambitious students. A Master's Program permits qualified students to submatriculate and obtain a
master's degree.
Core Courses: The following courses must be taken by all Physics majors, no matter what their concentration:
Math 104, 114, 240, and 241
Physics 150 or 170, Physics 151 or 171
Physics 230, 250, 351, 361, 362, and 411. + Concentration Courses
See the Physics and Astronomy Department’s website for more information.
Chemistry
The details, restrictions and policies of the Chemistry Major are listed online here. Always
consult with your faculty/major advisor.
The Basics:
Chemistry majors normally complete the following introductory sequences by the end of the sophomore
year:
CHEM 101 (or 001 or 115), 102 (or 116) General Chemistry (2 c.u.) CHEM 053, 054 General Chemistry Laboratories (1 c.u.) CHEM 241, 242, 245 Organic Chemistry and Laboratory (3 c.u.) MATH 104, 114 Calculus (formerly Math 140, 141) (2 c.u.) PHYS 150, 151 Physics (3 c.u.) (VIPER students may take Physics140/141)
Completion of the major requires:
CHEM 261 Inorganic Chemistry (1 c.u.) CHEM 221, 222, 223 Physical Chemistry and Laboratory (3 c.u.) CHEM 251 Biochemistry (1 c.u.) CHEM 246 Advanced Laboratory (1 c.u.)
Honors majors add one advanced course (400 level or above) and two units of independent study
(CHEM 399).
Note: Although the Chemistry Major only requires MATH 104 and 114, students wishing to
pursue more advanced courses in Physical Chemistry, or other fields involving quantitative
treatment of Chemistry, should consider taking additional Math courses such as MATH 240,
241, etc.
Biology
The details, restrictions and policies of the Biology Major are listed online here. Always consult
with your faculty/major advisor.
The Basics:
Introductory biology: Track 1: BIOL 121 with 123 and BIOL 124 (lab course) Track 2: BIOL 101 and BIOL 102 Note: BIOL 091 (assigned for AP credit) does not fulfill requirements in the Biology major.
Two semesters of biology lab requirement:
2 semesters of lab or field experience, normally met by labs associated with introductory courses. (Students with credit for the departmental placement exams, transfer credit, or a waiver for Introductory Biology, see Section 6.) Two cu of chemistry, chosen from the following:
CHEM 101 or 115 with 53 (1.5 cu; first semester of general chemistry) CHEM 102 or 116 with 54 (1.5 cu; second semester of general chemistry) CHEM 241 (1.0 cu; first semester of organic chemistry) CHEM 242 (1.0 cu; second semester of organic chemistry) CHEM 245 (1.0 cu; organic chemistry lab)

(Students interested in Graduate School are advised to take a full year of both physics and organic chemistry. Premeds should see: www.upenn.edu/careerservices/gradprof/gradprofmain.html)
Two cu of calculus and/or statistics, chosen from the following: MATH 104 MATH 114 or 115 BIOL 446 or STAT 111 or STAT 102
(MATH 115 is recommended for students who do not plan to take further math courses, other than a statistics course. MATH 114 is recommended for students who plan to take additional math courses.)
Intermediate biology courses must be selected from the following groups: Track 1: must take four courses from four different groups Track 2: must take three courses from three different groups
Group 1: BIOL 202 - Cell Biology and Biochemistry Group 2: BIOL 221 - Molecular Biology and Genetics Group 3: BIOL 215 - Vertebrate Physiology or BIOL 231 - Animal Behavior
or BIOL 251 - Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology
Group 4: BIOL 230 - Evolution or BIOL 240 - Ecology: from individuals to ecosystems All Biology Majors are strongly encouraged to take BIOL 221, since molecular biology and
genetics play a central role in modern biology. Four additional course units selected from:
Additional BIOL 200-level courses BIOL 300, 400, or 500 level courses (listed in Section 3) BIOL 109 or 140 (see additional restrictions below) Up to 2 courses given in other departments selected from the list in Section 4 and seen
addtional restrictions below) Students are encouraged to seek out advanced courses covering topics of current research interest.
Such courses often have small enrollments. Students will take a total of 16.0 cu to meet the requirements for the major. Most relevant biology courses are 1.0 cu, but BIOL 251 is 1.5 cu and BIOL 476 is a 0.5 cu course.

Sample Curricula
Important Notes about Sample Curricula
These samples are only to serve the purpose of showing the VIPER student a tentative, possible
4-year schedule. Individual student schedules may vary quite a bit.
Courses written as “requirement1/requirement2” indicate a course that is chosen to fulfill both
requirements—double counting.
The following assumptions were made for the sample curricula below:
VIPER students’ courses combined from their College and SEAS majors will be chosen to
help fulfill their “Natural Science”, “Mathematics” and “Tech Electives” for their BSE
degree.
The Energy Courses (I, II, and III), below are mostly shown not to overlap with a
student’s courses for their major; however, in many cases these courses can double-
count toward the VIPER and major requirements.
Advanced Placement* in Mathematics such that the student can begin her/his first
semester in Math114.
Advanced Placement* in a foreign language such that the student has already fulfilled
the College Foreign Language Requirement
*Students without these advanced placements can still complete the VIPER curriculum but will need to
take extra classes.
