Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) - B.S.E. (Aerospace E.) - must complete the program listed above. This sample schedule is an example of one leading to graduation in eight terms.

Notes:

¹If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Chemistry 130/125/126 you will have met the Chemistry Core Requirement of CoE.

²If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Physics 140/141 and/or 240/241 you will have met the Physics Core Requirement for CoE.

³Math 371, 419, 450 or 454 are recommended to fulfill this requirement. Math 354, 404, 425, 471; Stat 412, 425; Engr 371 may also be used.

⁴Upper-Level math, science or engineering courses approved by faculty advisor. If advanced math class taken is 4 credit hours, this requirement is for 8 rather than 9 credit hours. Must include 1 credit hour aerospace seminar course.
