- Nine semester credit hours must be writing intensive (WI).
- Students entering Texas State with fewer than 16 credit hours completed after high school graduation will be required to take US 1100. All others will be exempt from taking this course.
- All students in the Electrical Engineering degree programs must complete Electrical Engineering (EE) course prerequisites with a grade of “C” or higher.
- If two years of the same language are taken in high school, then no additional language hours will be required for the degree. In the absence of such high school language, two semesters of the same modern language must be taken at the college level.
- The Electrical Engineering degree programs include all the courses required for an Applied Mathematics minor.
