Course Requirements for Engineering Plans
Specific course prerequisites for Dual-Degree Engineering programs of study at affiliated schools are listed below. All dual degree programs require that the student complete the general education requirements of Augustana College, with the one exception being that Capstone (Area 4.3) is waived. A major must also be completed at Augustana, but it is common for many departments to allow one or more courses to be transferred back from the engineering school in order to complete major requirements.
The following courses should be completed at Augustana College if you wish to participate in the dual degree engineering program with the University of Minnesota . In addition, a 2.8 GPA in technical courses is required for most engineering areas, although a higher 3.2 GPA in technical courses is required for Biomedical, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering.
