Program of Studies

All M.S. students are required to complete a Program of Studies or Waiver/Substituition form and meet with their academic advisor as soon as possible in order to make sure they are on the right track for successful completion of the program.  Maintenance of the Program of Studies or Waiver form, as well as regular academic advising, is critical and failure to do so may result in a delay in graduation. (Please note:  the Program of Studies form is used by Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Managment, and Mechanical Engineering students.)

 

Program of Studies form:  

When you fill out this form, please keep the following in mind

  • You will need to have a minimum of 45 units (and a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0) to graduate.
  • You may apply a maximum of 16 units from any of our certificate programs or 12 Open University units toward the 45 units.  These units should be included on your Program of Studies as regular units, not in the Transfer Credits section.
  • With advisor approval, you may transfer 6 semester or 9 quarter units from an accredited institution (extension courses are not accepted) which have not been used toward the completion of another degree.  Indicate these units in the Transfer Credits section of the Program of Studies and attach an official transcript for verification when you submit your form for advisor approval. 
  • You may modify the Program of Studies at any time.  Please submit the updated, approved form to the Engineering Graduate Programs office in EC 101.
  • ENGR 200 (English for Engineers) and ENGR 288 (Co-op) do not count toward the completion of a M.S. degree (or certificate).
