Admissions Requirements for this Program
|
| New freshmen |
Admitted to USU in Good Standing.*
|
|
Transfer students from other institutions or other programs at USU |
Meet requirements below to be accepted into the pre-professional program. |
| *Minimum 2.7 high school GPA, 19 ACT and 63 Admission Index; must also be “calculus ready”. That is, they must: (1) achieve a score of 27 or higher on the math ACT test; (2) complete MATH 1050 and MATH 1060 or MATH 1210 ; or (3) achieve an AP score of at least 3 on the AB Calculus or BC Calculus test. |
Have completed at least MATH 1210: Calculus I (with a C- minimum grade) and, including all completed required Math, Science, and Engineering courses, have:
- 2.8 or higher GPA
- No grades less than C-
- No more than 3 repeats
|
**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
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. Electrical 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.
Elective Courses
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. Electrical Engineering Electives (select 18-22 credits)
A combined total of 22 Electrical Engineering electives and Technical electives are required, of which at least 18 must be Electrical Engineering electives. Technical Electives (select 0-4 credits)
Math and Science Electives (select 3 credits)
