Program Overview

Degree

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is a comprehensive program designed to provide students with a solid foundation in electrical engineering principles and practices.

Admission Requirements

To be eligible for admission, students must meet the following criteria:

• Complete an Associate in Arts (AA) degree
• Complete all prerequisites with a grade of C or higher
• Achieve a cumulative Transfer GPA of 2.0 or higher
• Earn a grade of C or higher in all prerequisites in two attempts or fewer, noting that drop/withdrawal grades are considered attempts
