- 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.
General Education Program at WSU
Effective Fall 2024, WSU follows the KBOR system-wide General Education (GE) program
framework which is comprised of 34-35 credit hours organized in six discipline-based
"buckets" and an institutionally designed bucket. A student who satisfies all seven
buckets will complete the GE program.
The 34-35 credit hours are divided as follows:
English Discipline Area – Bucket 1:
Six hours. See specific requirements below.
Communications Discipline Area – Bucket 2:
One listed course.
Mathematics & Statistics Discipline Area – Bucket 3:
One listed course.
Natural & Physical Science Discipline Area – Bucket 4:
Four to five hours from one subject and must include a lab. Choose one of the listed
courses or course combinations.
Social & Behavioral Sciences Discipline Area – Bucket 5:
Six hours from at least two subject areas listed.
Arts & Humanities Discipline Area – Bucket 6:
Six hours from at least two subject areas listed.
Institutionally Designated Area – Bucket 7:
Students must complete six credit hours of additional general education courses in
Bucket 7. These credit hours will include three credit hours of First-Year Seminar
and three credit hours of general education of the student's choice from the approved
list of Bucket 4-7 general education courses.
Those students who have earned an Associate Degree or 30 credit hours prior to high
school graduation and before starting classes at WSU as a degree-bound student, may
be exempt from taking a First-Year Seminar course.
