College of Engineering Degree Requirements


Degree requirements and the University Core Curriculum

Occasionally a course required for a degree may also satisfy a requirement of the University Core Curriculum. In addition to taking the required course, a student may elect to take a different course from among those available to fulfill that core requirement; doing so, however, may add to the total number of hours required for the degree. Students who have questions regarding degree requirements and core requirements should consult an academic advisor.

Bachelor of Science degree requirements

Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree must satisfy all general requirements for the bachelor’s degree listed in the Academics section of this catalog, and all engineering degree requirements as listed below.

  1. Hours required for the degree: Completion of a minimum of 120–128 total semester hours; 42–45 must be advanced, depending on the major.
  2. General university requirements: See “University Core Curriculum” in the Academics section of this catalog.
