Pre-engineering

Students who pursue this course of study will be able to transfer approximately two years of work to an engineering school. The amount of credit that can be transferred depends upon the branch of engineering for which they are preparing, the schools to which they will transfer and their high school backgrounds, particularly in mathematics. It is recommended that students interested in engineering take four years of high school mathematics, including trigonometry, so that they may enroll in MATH 229 and PHYS 253 during their first semester.

Students wishing to participate in this course of study should consult with the college’s Advising and Counseling Office or the Department of Physics for advisement and also consult the catalog of the prospective engineering school for special requirements.
