Engineering

Freshman admission is competitive. Based upon an overall evaluation of high school record with particular emphasis on advanced courses in math and science and test scores, freshmen may be admitted directly to an engineering major or to engineering undecided. Specifically, freshmen MUST present a pre-calculus equivalent, a math course during the high school senior year, no grades below C in any math courses, and a minimum SAT-Math score of 550 or ACT-Math subscore of 23. Transfers must present a GPA of at least 2.5, 3.0 for mechanical engineering, and have completed a pre-calculus course equivalent to MATH 1103. All transfers will be admitted to the lower division of a department, and evaluation of transfer credits to a program by the department chair will follow the guidelines of the North Carolina Engineering Transfer Board. Transfers from an ABET accredited engineering program who do not have a 2.5 GPA, 3.0 GPA for mechanical engineering, may be admitted upon the recommendation of the chair of the major department.
