Engineering Science (BS)
The information on the tabs below will help students planning to major in Engineering Science to choose appropriate classes for their first semester. The recommendations below are for your first semester only, so you may have additional Core requirements, for example, that you'll learn more about during your first semester here.
Advising Notes
Important Notes for Engineering Science majors from Advising:
- Your ability to complete the Engineering major in 4 years will be impacted if you do not begin with a MATH 161 placement. Please respond to your registration email if this is your situation so we can discuss options.
- The Engineering major is a large major with a great deal of academic sequencing. As such, it is not possible to study abroad during the fall or spring semester. There is some possibility of completing a minor depending on AP/transfer credits, but it is usually unlikely.
- Check the AP/IB guide to ensure you know if you have any incoming credit that will count towards your Core requirements.
- Please note that while completing the pre-med requirements will be possible with this major, summer and post-graduation work will be required and there will be a delay in applying to medical school.
