Math 14 and 53 are to be taken together provided the student passed the APE in Math 11. Otherwise, the student must take Math
17 in the 1st year/1st semester (in place of Math 14 and Math 53); Math 53 in the 1st year/2nd semester (in place of Math 54); and
Math 54 in the immediately following summer session.
*

Kasaysayan 1 and Filipino 40 satisfy the 6-unit Philippine Studies requirement.

Note: As a requirement for graduation, all students are required to take six (6) units in one of the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) component. ROTC & Civic Welfare Training Service are offered by UPD.
