Engineering

An Associate of Science in Engineering prepares the student for a variety of engineering fields, including civil, electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and computer engineering. The 60 credit hours in the Engineering program contains 17 credits of Fundamentals of Engineering coursework, with an additional 16 credits of specialized foundation instruction covering advanced calculus classes and general physics. The remaining 27 credits are split between General Education Foundation courses and technical and scientific electives that align with the major of the student’s choice in the WVU Statler College of Engineering.

Upon completion of the Engineering Associate of Science degree and the Fundamentals of Engineering Coursework, students can apply for admission to specific engineering degree programs in the Statler College of Engineering. A 2.5 GPA in engineering coded courses is required for admission. Degree progression plans for various engineering programs are provided below for students accepted to the WVU Statler College of Engineering.

Pre-Engineering

An Associate of Science in Pre-Engineering prepares the student for a variety of engineering fields, including civil, electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and computer engineering. The 60 credit hours in the Pre-Engineering program contains 14 credits of Fundamentals of Engineering coursework, with an additional 8 credits of specialized foundation instruction covering advanced calculus classes and general physics. The remaining 38 credits are used to prepare students for the rigorous mathematics study, while working through the General Education Foundation Curriculum.
