The Freshman Engineering Academic Program
Entering the Freshman Engineering Academic Program
With the exception of students intending to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, all new freshmen entering the College of Engineering and all transfer students entering the College of Engineering with less than 24 credit hours are initially designated as either General Engineering or Pre-Engineering students. These students are required to complete the Freshman Engineering Academic Program (see the section below on Majoring in Chemical Engineering for a possible exception).
To become a General Engineering student, a new student must: (i) be placed into MATH 1285: Precalculus Mathematics or higher, and (ii) not be placed into ENGL 0003: Basic Writing. New students who do not meet these requirements are designated as Pre-Engineering students, and they may only become General Engineering students when they: (i) have a University of Arkansas GPA of 2.0 or higher, and (ii) have rectified the deficiencies that prevented their becoming General Engineering students upon entry into the program.
