Admission Overview

The College of Engineering and Mineral Resources accepts students into one of three bachelor's degree tracks, which are based primarily on math preparation.  The purpose for having three freshman engineering tracks is to provide a curriculum that is tailored to the level of academic preparation of each student. This maximizes each student's chance for a successful first-year experience.

Engineering/Pre-Computer Science

The Engineering/Pre-Computer Science track is for students who are ready for college level calculus. Students who start out in this track can typically graduate in 4 years.

High School GPA: 3.0
