To become a candidate for a Bachelor of Science degree in one of the five major disciplines within the College of Engineering, the student must satisfy the general requirements of the University as set forth in "Academic Policies and Procedures," and must have satisfactorily completed the program of instruction specified by the major department. [Note Engineering humanity/social science requirements are slightly different from USA general requirements) See Humanities/Social sciences.-.doc  or .pdf]

In addition to these requirements, the Engineering student must have at least a GPA of 2.00 or C-level competency in all subjects taken in the student's major department at the University of South Alabama. See PCS     (Professional Component Standing)

A transfer student must complete at least 32 hours of approved upper-division courses with at least 16 hours in the upper level of the student's major department at the University of South Alabama.
Engineering students must comply with the University's general education requirements. In the area of Humanities and Fine Arts, engineering students are required to take a total of at least 9 semester hours with a minimum of 3 semester hours in literature and a minimum of 3 semester hours in the arts with the remaining hours from the Humanities and Fine Arts. In the area of History, Social, and Behavioral Sciences, engineering students are required to take at least 9 semester hours with a minimum of 3 semester hours in history and a minimum of 3 semester hours from among the other disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. Engineering students must take at least one 6 semester hour in-depth sequence in either Humanities and Fine Arts or History, Social, and Behavioral Sciences.
Engineering students are required to take and make a "good faith" effort to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to their anticipated date of graduation. Students should be aware of the 90-day advance deadline established by the State Board of Registration for submission of examination application materials. Failure to meet the deadline could result in delayed graduation.
