An important goal was to have students transfer withenough credits to graduate from NAU without needing more than 30 semester hours at NAU.Included in these considerations were ABET accreditation requirements as well as graduationrequirements from both schools. For example, students from CQUPT did not have the prescribedamount of mathematics and science required by ABET accreditation, so they must take anadditional science course. NAU has particular strength in Astronomy, Biology, and Geology andthose classes were added as alternatives to Chemistry
