I'm working toward two degrees at UCF, a B.S. in Physics on the Optics & Lasers track
and a B.S. in Mathematics, plus a minor in computer science. I got to UCF in Fall 2025 with 111
transfer credits, 108 of them from FAU High School and 3 from Palm Beach State. Those covered
general education, calculus I–III, differential equations, the first two semesters of physics,
and most of the CS minor. This page is where I
keep track of the rest, one semester at a time.

Each square is one course in the major itself. Gen ed and the calculus and physics
prerequisites were finished before UCF, so they aren't counted.
