Engineering Science and Information Science Tracks

*** These tracks require a very specific degree map that is typically only available to undergraduate students who have completed significant prerequisite courses in math, physics, and engineering subjects. Students should only consider these tracks if they have the necessary prerequisite courses and have discussed these tracks with their advisor. ***

The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences recognizes that specific Engineering (ECE) courses contain a high degree of science content. For students wanting to specialize in Engineering Science or Information Science, the College recognizes the following courses as equivalent to courses from two distinct departments. As such, students in either of these two tracks may use the below courses to fulfill the Science B.A./B.S. requirement of area distribution courses from two separate departments.

Students are strongly recommended to first discuss these two track options with an advisor prior to enrolling in these courses.
