Sequence Shared by:
This version of the program will be used for advising and student planning purposes.
Any developmental course requirements should be completed prior to starting the courses listed below
as they may be required for enrollment in courses listed in the term sequence.
Program Notes: Program notes: Students must earn a grade of "C" or better for all courses required within the program and must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in these courses to complete their degree.
+ indicates course has prerequisites and/or corequisites.
Advisement notes:
Students considering transfer to a state university should select their general education distribution courses [SB, HU] with L, C, G, and/or H designation(s). They also need to be mindful of their GPA as there often are minimum requirements for admission into engineering programs.
Program sequence is shown using restricted electives required for this major at the university. However, students may choose to substitute other restricted electives from the list below. A total of 16-20 credits of restricted electives are required.
It is recommended that students take general education courses during summer sessions to lighten their load during the regular semesters.
Admission Criteria: None.
Program prerequisites -
Credits: 0-17
The credit hour range is subject to change depending on the student`s educational experiences. PHY111 AND PHY112 are also strongly recommended for those who have not completed one year of high school physics with a grade of C or better.
Advising Note: Students needing to take any of the prerequisite courses listed here would be served by also completing some of their general education courses (such as ENG, COM, HU and/or SB) during this/these semester(s) to lighten their load during subsequent terms.
