Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering (Vancouver only) (121 Credits)
For the major in the Electrical Engineering degree program on the Vancouver campus, students are admitted to the Electrical Engineering major upon demonstrating they are ready to take MATH 171 (Calculus I) or higher and making their intention known to the department.
To remain in good standing, students must complete the benchmark courses: CS 251, ECE 214, 234, 260, MATH 171, 172, 220, 273, 315, CHEM 105, PHYSICS 201 and 211, and PHYSICS 202 and 212 (or their transfer equivalents) with a grade of C or better and obtain a WSU cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher when the final benchmark course is completed.
No courses listed in this schedule of studies may be taken on a pass/fail basis. All upper-division electrical engineering courses must be completed with a minimum 2.0 average GPA.
