Test Scores

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
ACT/SAT Composite/Total: 24/1110
MATH ACT/SAT: 27/620

General Engineering

The General Engineering track is for students who may place into either calculus or a pre-calculus course. Students who start out in this track can typically graduate in 4 or 4.5 years.

High School GPA: 2.5
ACT/SAT Composite/Total: 22/1030
MATH ACT/SAT: 23/540

Pre-Engineering

The Pre-Engineering track is designed for students who are accepted to WVU, but do not meet the requirements for the tracks listed above. Students may start out in algebra or pre-algebra and can typically graduate in 4.5 or 5 years.

Transfer, dual enrollment, and AP credit may decrease time to graduation.
