Minimum required: 131 semester credit hours

Admission Requirements

1. 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
2. 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:

    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:

General Requirements

1. 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.

2. 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.
