Pre-Engineering Curriculum
CU offers a pre-engineering curriculum that serves as a foundation for almost any engineering program in the country, including majors in biosystems, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, materials and mining engineering. Two options are available to students, with both leading to a B.S. degree from an engineering school. In the 2/2 option, the student spends two years at CU taking the pre-engineering curriculum before transferring to the engineering school for two further years. In the 3/2 option, the student spends three years at CU before transferring, completes the CU general education requirements, and later transfers engineering school credits back to CU to earn a BS degree from CU also. CU has transfer agreements with the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville, ensuring entry into the engineering programs for a student earning C or better grades in the pre-engineering curriculum.
