Program Requirements

Program credit requirements

The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in electrical engineering requires at least 131 credit hours.

You must earn a grade of “C” or better in all electrical engineering courses.

The 131 required credit hours are in addition to credit received for algebra, trigonometry and basic ROTC courses.

Note: Some of the non-engineering courses you take at MSU (like physics and calculus) count for more credit hours than the same courses at Missouri S&T.

Thus, the total required credit hours at MSU (131) and Missouri S&T (128) are slightly different for electrical engineering, but you’ll still take the same amount of courses.

General education requirements

Missouri S&T General Education requirements for Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (15 credit hours) Choose courses from History, Art, Music, Theater, English and Technical Communication, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Economics, Etymology, or Foreign Languages:
