BENG Professional Program Requirements

Professional Program

For Biological Engineering majors in the professional program the following academic regulations apply, in addition to University regulations:

1. A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all required professional courses and any engineering/math/science courses required for, or used to fulfill required electives in, this major. Courses which were part of the pre-professional program requirements and University Studies courses are not included in this GPA calculation.
2. For Biological Engineering no grades less than C- in engineering/math/science classes may apply toward meeting graduation requirements .
3. College of Engineering courses may be repeated only once. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the department head. A maximum of three required or elective courses completed as part of a professional program can be repeated in order to meet graduation requirements. (Courses completed as part of a pre-professional program are not included in this total of three repeats.)
4. The P/D+, D, F grading option may not be used in required or elective courses completed as part of a professional program. (The P/D+, D, F grading option is approved for University Studies Courses.)
5. The academic regulations listed above (1-4) apply to required coursework and any elective engineering/math/science course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree. That is, once a student completes a particular technical elective, it becomes a required course for that student.
