Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Major in Electrical Engineering (Micro and Nano Devices and Systems Concentration)
Minimum required: 131 semester credit hours
Admission Requirements
- The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Electrical Engineering requires admission to the university and admission to the program. Information about the program admissions can be found at: http://mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/science-engineering/ingram-school/#admissionstext
- In order to declare Electrical Engineering as a major, students must meet one of the following prerequisites:
- ACT Math score of 24 or higher,
- SAT Math score of 550 (re-centered) or higher, or
- credit for one of the following Math courses with a grade of "C" or higher:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MATH 1315 | College Algebra | 3 |
| MATH 1317 | Plane Trigonometry | 3 |
| MATH 1319 | Mathematics for Business and Economics I | 3 |
| MATH 1329 | Mathematics for Business and Economics II | 3 |
3. Students who do not meet the above prerequisites may choose Pre-Electrical Engineering as their major. Pre-Electrical Engineering students who complete one of the following Math courses with a grade of "C" or higher may declare Electrical Engineering as their major:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MATH 1315 | College Algebra | 3 |
| MATH 1317 | Plane Trigonometry | 3 |
| MATH 1319 | Mathematics for Business and Economics I | 3 |
| MATH 1329 | Mathematics for Business and Economics II | 3 |
General Requirements
- The general education core curriculum courses are listed in the degree plan below along with the statewide component code number. See the General Education Core Curriculum section of this catalog for the Texas State requirements and options in the core curriculum, including Honors courses.

For transfer students, 30-31 semester credit hours may be transferred from a Texas public institution of higher education for the Electrical Engineering Field of Study and be applied to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Electrical Engineering at Texas State University. More information about the Field of Study is available in the Academic Policies section of this catalog. The transferable Texas Common Course Number (TCCN) is listed below the Texas State University course number in the following course list.

- 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.
