Admission Requirement for Computer Hardware Majors

 

It is the department's policy to admit the best qualified applicants as demonstrated by high academic achievement. Successful applicants have earned an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher and have completed six of the eight pre-professional critical tracking courses with a grade point average of 2.50 or higher throughout the completion of all eight critical tracking courses.  Physics with Calculus 1 (including lab) must be one of the six completed critical tracking courses.  Although the labs are required in the degree, the grades earned in the lab courses are not computed in the critical tracking grade point average.

In addition, only two tracking courses can be repeated, each having one additional attempt.  A repeated course does not include a first attempt of "W" (withdrawal).  Additional attempts will be given grade forgiveness within the tracking GPA.  However, a grade of C or better must be earned by the second attempt, including withdrawals.
