Associate in Science
Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree
Pre-Engineering
Dean: Dr. Hasan Naima
Academic Advisor: Wayne Martin
Curriculum Pathway Leading to an Associate in Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences for Students Seeking a Transfer Degree to a 4-Year Institution:
This program is designed for students who want to complete requirements for a degree in a university engineering program. Students must observe math prerequisites. Those who enter without Algebra or Trigonometry must take these courses before advanced work is permitted. Normally, the beginning course in mathematics in the engineering curriculum is Calculus and Analytic Geometry MATH 122. Beginning engineering students should have satisfactorily completed at least two years of Algebra and Trigonometry in high school. College Algebra and Trigonometry may not be counted toward an engineering degree by any of the Kansas engineering colleges. The program listing below assumes the proper mathematics background.
Note: Students should seek advisement from a counselor/advisor about how requirements vary in the different fields of engineering.
General Education Requirements
College Requirement - All first time degree-seeking students who score 75 or above on the ACCUPLACER reading exam are required to take HUDV0100, Freshman Orientation (1 credit hour). All degree-seeking students who score below 75 on the ACCUPLACER reading exam will take HUDV 101, Strategies for Academic Excellence/Lifelong Learning (2 credit hours). (See exemptions)
