Engineering Standing Requirements

Print-Friendly Page (opens a new window)

The first two years of a program’s curriculum are considered to be lower division while the remaining two years are considered the upper division. For the most part, upper division engineering courses are those with course numbers in the 3000’s and 4000’s. In addition to the stated prerequisites and unless otherwise noted in the catalog, students must apply for and be granted Engineering Standing in order to enroll in any upper division Engineering course taught in the College of Engineering. A 2.70 GPA is required to receive engineering standing in the courses noted below.

The following chart lists the course requirements for students seeking Engineering Standing. Updated May 26, 2018.

Engineering Standing for Non-Engineering Majors

Non-engineering students who desire to enroll in upper-level engineering courses will need to satisfy the Engineering Standing prerequisite.  A 2.7 GPA in the following courses will fulfill the requirement:

12 additional credits from courses in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology or with prefixes CHEM, CS, CSE, IT, MATH, PHYS, or STAT.
