2006-07 Undergraduate Catalog
Majors
Students who want a markedly different engineering program should contact the Office of Academic Programs in Weil Hall, Room 312.
Requirements for admission to an interdisciplinary studies program leading to a B.S. degree include a strong educational commitment and a grade point average of at least 2.5.
The program requires approval of a committee consisting of three engineering faculty and the academic dean of the college, and must satisfy the minimum engineering science course requirements.
This is intended for students who want engineering as a major but are NOT prepared to take CHM 2045 or MAC 2311 their first semester at UF. This is NOT a degree-granting major. Students must choose one of the degree-seeking majors in engineering by semester 3.
