Materials Science and Engineering (122 Credits)
Admission Requirements
To be admitted into Materials Science and Engineering major, students must have 83% or higher ALEKS placement score (MATH) or Completion of Math 106 and 108, 171 or higher calculus course with “C” or better or Calc AP score of 2.
Transferring students must satisfy all of the above admission requirements. Students must earn a 2.6 GPA in transferred major courses and have earned a “C” or better in all transferred courses required for the MSE degree.
Benchmarks to Maintain Major in MSE Status
To keep their status as Materials Science Engineering majors, students must: (1) maintain 2.6 average GPA in major courses required for MSE degree, (2) obtain grade “C” of better in all courses required for MSE degree. No more than one repeat per course is allowed in all ME and MSE courses required for MSE degree.
Major courses required for MSE degree include all ME, MSE, physics, chemistry, and math courses listed in the schedule of studies.
Any further questions should be addressed to the Undergraduate Student Services office located in Sloan 205 or to newcoug@mme.wsu.edu.
