Admission Requirements: Meet Marshall University admission requirements Admission to the B.S.M. E. program requires a minimum composite ACT score of 21 with a math score of 24, or a minimum SAT composite of 980 with a math SAT of 560.
Entering students with a Math ACT of 24-26 are required to take 132 Pre-Calculus. Such students will likely need an extra semester or summer term to satisfy B.S.M.E. requirements. For those needing to complete some requirements first, there is Pre-Engineering. Requirements for Pre-Engineering are a minimum composite ACT score of 19 with a math score of 19-23, or a minimum SAT composite of 900 with a math SAT of 460-550. Students who are admitted to the Pre-engineering program generally will require an additional calendar year to complete the requirements for the B.S.M.E. degree. Transfer students must be eligible for 127/130 and 132 to be admitted to pre-engineering. Graduation Requirements The B.S.M. E. degree program requires a minimum of 132 credit hours of coursework. In addition to fulfilling the University s requirements for graduation, B.S.M.E students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all professional courses. These professional courses include mathematics ( 229 or above), required science courses, core engineering () courses, engineering emphasis courses (), and courses used as technical electives.. Engineering Science Minor A student may be awarded a minor in engineering science by completing 15 credits of engineering courses (, CE, or ). Two courses are required: 213 and 216, and at least six (6) credits must be 300-level or 400-level engineering courses. A student must complete all the required prerequisites and have at least a 2.0 average in the courses taken and applied to the engineering science minor. 1. Core Curriculum Core I (9 CH) FYS 100 or FYS 100H *Two Critical Thinking courses (CT) (6 CH) ( 229 Calculus I is a CT course) Core II Composition: ENG 101 and ENG 201; or ENG 200H or 201H (6 CH) Communication: CMM 103 or CMM 207 (3 CH) Math (requirement met in major) Physical or Natural Science (requirement met in major) Social Science Humanities: CL, ENG, PHL or RST labeled Humanities (3 CH) Fine Arts: ART 112, MUS 142, 200, 210, or THE 112 (3 CH) Additional University Requirements *Writing Intensive courses (W) (6 Hrs.) *Multicultural (M) or International (I) course (3 hrs.) Freshmen transfer students must complete Core I at Marshall. Core II can be completed with Marshall or transfer courses. Transfers with 30 or more credit hours must complete one CT course but are exempt from the remaining Core I requirements. Core II can be completed with Marshall or transfer courses. 2.
