The engineering studies program is for students who want to take the foundational
courses needed for an engineering degree at CSU before transferring to complete the
undergraduate degree in engineering at another institution. Students who are calculus
ready typically follow a course of full-time study for two years that includes the
math, physics, chemistry, and engineering courses needed of all engineering majors.
This course of study prepares students for continued study at CSU, in Engineering
Physics, or at an accredited engineering institution (via transfer agreements). |
