Apply to the major or minor

Students who have demonstrated their ability to succeed in engineering classes are welcome to apply to an engineering major.

This ability is demonstrated by completing the following courses at SPU and have a minimum 2.5 GPA, both in coursework required for the engineering major and as the SPU cumulative GPA:

  • EE major: EE 2726 Electric Circuits I, or a course taken at SPU requiring “Circuits I” as a prerequisite, prior to applying to this major.

Once you have completed those courses:

  • Apply online for admission to an Engineering major in the Winter Quarter of your sophomore year.
  • Transfer students will be evaluated for major admission on a case-by-case basis.
  • You must complete the major requirements in effect in the SPU Undergraduate Catalog for the year of your admittance to the major.
  • Minor online applications are accepted at any time.
