You must also register for 2 hours of 9720 during the Fall term of the internship year and 2 hours the Spring term of the internship year.

Note about statistics and measurement coursework:
ERSH courses 8310, 8320, and 8610 are prerequisites for many other ERSH courses. Therefore, students are encouraged to take all 3 courses during their first three semesters of study.
For students who desire a strong background in statistics and measurement, the following sequence is recommended for the first two years of study (based on recent course scheduling):
| Year | Fall | Spring | Summer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ERSH 8310 | ERSH 8320 | ERSH 8740 |
| 2 | ERSH 8610; ERSH 8350 | ERSH 8750 |
