Undergraduate Plan of Study for Students Admitted Spring 2019 or earlier
Our BS degree curriculum
includes 81 units in the major, 24 General Education units, 15 units of electives and all university requirements. When selecting courses, students need to consult with a faculty adviser. Course prerequisites are strictly enforced.
All required courses toward the degree must be taken for a letter grade. All required mathematics and science courses must be passed with a “C-” (1.7) or better. The exception is MATH 150A
, which must be passed with a “C” (2.0) or better. Graduate courses are not open to undergraduate students without department approval. A GPA of 2.0 or better is required for the major.
Coursework taken at another college or university in which “C-” (1.7) or lower grade was earned will not be substituted for the major courses.
Students are required to obtain department preapproval before registering for courses at another college or university. No more than a total of 12 units can be transferred to replace 300- or 400-level major courses.
Students wishing to earn an Architectural Engineering Emphasis must fulfill the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. When choosing their electives, they must consult with an adviser. At the minimum student with Architectural Engineering, emphasis must take EGCE 463, EGCE 493, and EGCE 496.
