Who does the S&T Advising Center Serve?

Students who are undecided, studying engineering and computer science are admitted to the S&T Advising Center. During the first two or three semesters on campus, you will work to complete a common set of Pre-Engineering or Pre-Computer Science courses while acquiring information to help you determine your major and career.  

After successfully completing the Pre-Engineering or Pre-Computer Science requirements, you will formally apply for admission to a specific academic department. The requirements for acceptance to degree programs differ depending on the department. Many departments have a minimum GPA requirement. Some departments allow you to start taking courses in your major prior to officially being accepted into the department, provided you have successfully completed the prerequisites for any course you take — check with your advisor.
