- To graduate from an engineering program, a candidate must attain 2.0 GPA in each of
the following categories:
- All college and university work attempted (cumulative GPA)
- All work attempted at WSU (WSU GPA)
- All work in the student's major at WSU including Engineering+ requirements.
- Most engineering courses have prerequisites and/or co-requisites; the prerequisite course must have been completed before the course requiring it can be taken, and the co-requisite must be completed prior to or taken concurrently with the required course sequence.
- Specific engineering courses for each major will be provided during student advising.
NOTE:
- (L) - For purposes of this transfer guide, "Lab" in the course name or "(L)" after the course name indicates that the WSU equivalent course carries the "laboratory" (LAB) attribute.
