Curriculum for BS in Electrical Engineering
Example pathway through the EE curriculum
We've shared below just four of many, many choices for Social World Electives.
AT = Arts; HS = Historical Studies; SB = Social and Behavioral Science; I = Interdisciplinary Studies; DG = Global Diversity; DU = U.S. Diversity.
We also included a sampling of EE or Life Science electives that are approved. You may also propose something not yet approved and have it reviewed.
You will need to consult your academic advisor each semester to ensure you remain on track.

Current students can access official curriculum flowsheet PDFs off of the Curriculum landing page.
