Undergraduate Plan of Study
Students admitted prior to Fall 2019, please refer to the old study plan page.
Our BS degree curriculum
includes 80 units in the major, 24 General Education units, 13 units of technical electives, 3 units of basic science elective and all university requirements.
When selecting courses, students need to consult with a faculty adviser. Students are required to meet with their academic adviser every semester during the first year and at least once a year thereafter.
All required courses toward the degree must be taken for a letter grade. All required mathematics & science courses and EGCE 201 and 301 must be passed with a “C-” (1.7) 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. Course prerequisites are strictly enforced. 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.
