1 | MAE requires grades of "C" or better in all prerequisite courses, and their prerequisites. |
2 | Grades of "C" or higher in all Upper Division Major Requirements courses |
Graduation Requirements
- A minimum Technical GPA of 2.00. The Technical GPA is calculated from all courses in the curriculum with a prefix belonging to the degree program, or substitutions for these courses.
- A "C" or better is required in each course that is designated with footnote 1 and footnote 2. In cases where there is a choice on a course that has footnote 1, the footnote applies to both courses.
- The major engineering design experience, capstone course, is satisfied by MAE 4374 Aerospace System Design.
Additional State/OSU Requirements
- At least: 60 hours at a four-year institution; 30 hours completed at OSU; 15 of the final 30 or 50% of the upper-division hours in the major field completed at OSU.
- Limit of: one-half of major course requirements as transfer work; one-fourth of hours earned by correspondence; 8 transfer correspondence hours.
- Students will be held responsible for degree requirements in effect at the time of matriculation and any changes that are made, so long as these changes do not result in semester credit hours being added or do not delay graduation.
- Degrees that follow this plan must be completed by the end of Summer 2027.
