Required for Admission to the Professional Program
An institution GPA of 2.8 or higher is required in the pre-professional courses, NOT including ENGL 2010. All courses require a grade of C- or better. No more than 3 repeats total are allowed in the pre-professional courses. Computer Engineering Required Courses
For Electrical and Computer Engineering majors in the professional program the following academic regulations apply, in addition to University regulations: - A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all upper-division engineering/math/science courses required for, or used as technical 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.
- For Electrical and Computer Engineering, not more than 10 hours of D or D+ credit may be applied toward meeting graduation requirements in engineering/math/science classes.
- 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.)
- 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.)
- 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.
Math/Science Elective (select 3 credits)
A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all upper-division engineering/math/science courses required for, or used as technical electives in, this major. Core Computer Engineering Electives (select 12 credits)
A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all upper-division engineering/math/science courses required for, or used as technical electives in, this major. The following subject areas represent subject areas in computer engineering. They are grouped for easy reference. Students are not required to complete all of the core computer engineering electives in a subject area and may select from different subject areas. High-Level Technical Electives (select 9 credits)
A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all upper-division engineering/math/science courses required for, or used as technical electives in, this major. |
