Up to two graduate-level courses may be used towards graduation. Graduate-level courses must be approved by student’s advisor, and the student must be within two semesters of graduation and have at least a 3.0 GPA to take graduate-level courses.
Note: The ability to use computers for normal class work is expected in all engineering classes above the F100 level.
Roadmaps
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.
- This roadmap should be used in conjunction with regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor or mentor each semester.
- Some courses and milestones must be completed in the semester listed to ensure timely graduation.
- Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
- Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
- Courses with (*) are recommended.
