Advising Notes

This program is intended for students who may not have the appropriate academic background to begin the Engineering Science Transfer Program. 

It is strongly suggested that students work closely with an engineering faculty advisor or STEM pathway advisor to select appropriate courses to meet their specific academic needs.

Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.

If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
