Pre-Engineering
This curriculum represents the maximum number of non-engineering credit hours which are required of pre-engineering students at most non-engineering institutions. It is not expected or required that FMU students complete this entire program prior to transferring to an institution offering four-year baccalaureate programs in engineering. After transferring, the student could expect to complete the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering discipline (except chemical engineering) after completing two to two-and-one-half years of additional study.
Students interested in this curriculum should plan their program based on the catalog requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer. The advisers for pre-engineering are assigned from the Department of Physics and Engineering.
