The College of Engineering allows undergraduate students to enroll in graduate courses in compliance with the University’s policy. Students must meet the following requirements:
- Senior standing (97+ credits completed prior to the semester taking a graduate class)
- Minimum of 3.0 cumulative GPA
- Appropriate approvals (advisor, course instructor, and department chair)
- Maximum credit limit (18 credits) for undergraduates taking graduate courses
Undergraduate students requesting permission to register for an Engineering graduate course should complete the appropriate form. The form can be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site.
In addition, students must complete the Confirm Graduate Course Credits for Degree form when they are in their senior year. This form can also be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site. The form is to be used by undergraduate students who have completed or are currently enrolled in graduate-level courses. It is used to determine which (if any) of the graduate-level courses taken as an undergraduate will be counted toward the undergraduate degree.
Graduate degree programs allow a limited number of graduate courses completed as an undergraduate to be applied toward the completion of both the bachelor’s degree and the master’s degree.
Master’s Degrees allowing three courses (nine credits) to “double-count” include:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Cybersecurity
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Sports and Performance Engineering
- Sustainable Engineering
Master’s Degrees allowing two courses (six credits) to “double-count” include:
- Civil Engineering
- Water Resources and Environmental Engineering
- Biochemical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
