Transfer students from other institutions or other programs at USU |
Meet requirements below to be accepted into the pre-professional program |
| *Minimum 3.5 High School GPA, 24 ACT or 1160 SAT, 25 ACT math score and 81 Admission Index. |
- MATH 1210 completed with a C- or higher
- 3.0 or higher GPA in Pre-Professional courses
- No more than 2 repeats in Pre-Professional courses
- 12 credits or more of Science, Engineering and Math completed with a 3.0 or higher GPA
|
**Please note: ENGL 1010 is required by USU but is not included in the degree map because most engineering students satisfy this requirement through an ACT English score of 29 or higher, an SAT Critical Reading score of 640 or higher, Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations (score of 3 on English Language & Composition or English Literature & Composition) or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP).

Required for Admission to the Professional Program
A cumulative USU 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.
Additionally, no more than 3 repeats total are allowed in the pre-professional courses. Multiple repeats of the same course and audits are included in the total of 3 repeats.
Mechanical Engineering Required Courses
For Mechanical 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 astechnical electives in, this major. Courses which were part of the pre-professional program requirements and UniversityStudies courses are not included in this GPA calculation.
- For Mechanical Engineering, not more than 10 hours of D or D+ credit may be applied toward meeting graduationrequirements in engineering/math/science classes.
- A maximum of one required or elective course completed as part of a professional program can be repeated to meetgraduation requirements. Courses completed as part of a pre-professional program are not included in this total. Audits countas a time taking a class and will be counted as 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 coursewhich could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree. That is, once a student completes a particulartechnical elective, it becomes a required course for that student.
Technical Elective
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.
Students must take a minimum of 12 credit hours (4 courses) worth of mechanical engineering technical electives; at least two must have a MAE prefix. If a student doesn’t take MAE 1010 in their first 30 credits of the Pre-Professional Program, they are required to take 15 credit hours (5 courses) worth of mechanical engineering technical electives.
Mechanical engineering technical elective courses may be selected from any of the following courses:
