The admission criteria for each college are different. Business applicants must meet the admission requirements established by the College of Business. Acceptance for engineering students also requires completion of either introductory chemistry or physics. In the engineering and arts and sciences programs, formal application is required and admittance to the major is limited to 180 students per year. The GEC is a body of courses designed to ensure that each student becomes acquainted with the basic areas of academic study.
Some majors also require completion of a foreign language requirement.
The Computer Science and Engineering requirements in the engineering program include courses in CIS, general engineering, math, statistics, physics, chemistry, and general education. The core CIS courses include programming, computer architecture, data structures, operating systems, programming languages, programming language theory, file design and databases, and numerical methods. A CIS capstone design course is also required. The general engineering requirements include courses from electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, engineering mechanics, engineering graphics, mechanical engineering, and industrial and systems engineering. The math and statistics requirements include courses in calculus and analytic geometry, differential equations, discrete mathematics, and probability and statistics.
