Pre-Engineering Program

Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Program Type

Pre-Professional Studies are designed for students planning to pursue further study at a professional school. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor as soon as possible to discuss course selection, to gather information regarding admission requirements for professional schools, and to select an appropriate undergraduate major. Please note that Pre-Professional Studies are NOT majors, an EMU degree will not be awarded.

This program is a two-year program designed for the student who wishes to transfer to an engineering program at another University. Students are strongly advised to consult with the engineering school to which they plan to transfer for specific requirements. Courses taken may apply to other majors at the University if the student chooses to remain on campus to
complete a bachelor’s degree.
