Major
A minimum of 27 credits in an area or discipline that together with supporting courses leads to a bachelor’s degree.
Minor
A minimum of 21 credits in a core of courses, giving you insight into an area, but without the depth of a major.
Concentration
At least 12 credits that give you an opportunity to extend general learning into a more specific area.
Interdisciplinary Certificate
A minimum of 21 credits that focus on an area and provide perspective from different disciplines. Although not a major, it’s transcript visible. The biomedical certificate is similar to a minor and is open to all majors. Students earn the certificate to be more competitive graduate, medical, or law school applicants, or to obtain positions in the biomedical industry, one of the fastest growing industries in the United States.
Licensure
The Engineering Teacher Education concentration allows students to obtain an engineering degree and a teaching license in technology education. Graduates may pursue an engineering career or choose to teach engineering design principles and concepts in junior and senior high school.
Double Majors and Minors
Engineering students have numerous options for pursuing double majors. Electrical and computer engineering students might combine their degree with one in computer science. An engineering degree could be combined with technical journalism or business administration. Students may also choose a minor. Popular minors include environmental engineering, mathematics, computer science, and foreign languages.
