Pre-Engineering Associate of Science (AS)

The Associate of Science in Pre-Engineering Degree Program allows students to transfer to engineering programs offered by a baccalaureate degree-granting institution.  The program offers suggested academic advising pathways for nine engineering disciplines including Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.  For students who are planning to transfer to a senior institution, this curriculum provides foundation courses that can lead to entry-level employment in the engineering industry.

 

To receive this degree, the student must:

  • Have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better in all credits that are to be used towards the degree;
  • Earn a “C” or better in approved electives, ENGL 101, and ENGL 102, and in courses that are prerequisites for other courses;
  • Take at least 12 hours at 200 level;
  • Complete the coursework listed below; and
  • Earn 12 of the final 15 credits at BRCC.
