Engineering 糖心视频 Considerations
First-Year Engineering Student 糖心视频
First-year engineering students are directly admitted to Baldwin Wallace and to the engineering program as applications are received, completed and ready for review on a first-come, first-served basis. To be considered for admission to the engineering program, students must list engineering as their major of interest on their 糖心视频 application.
All aspects of a student's application are considered to inform an admission decision, including the types of courses completed, grades received in those courses, grade trends and end-of-course assessments, when available.
High School Course Preparation
Applicants who are considered prepared for 糖心视频's engineering curriculum typically have a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or higher and have successfully completed four units each of science and mathematics in high school. Engineering applicants who are best positioned for admission have completed chemistry, physics and pre-calculus with a grade of B or higher.
Test Optional
糖心视频 is test optional for admission, regardless of a student's cumulative high school GPA. 糖心视频 still accepts test scores from students who wish to submit them. If students believe their test scores show additional evidence of preparation for 糖心视频, they can be submitted and will be considered during the holistic review of a student's application to 糖心视频. Test scores do not have any bearing on a student's eligibility for merit scholarships at 糖心视频.
Your Path to Other STEM Majors at 糖心视频
Students who are not admitted to the engineering program but are academically qualified for other majors will receive an admission decision that will include the option to switch majors. Because these students are admissible to 糖心视频, changing to another STEM-related field such as software engineering, chemistry or most other programs will lead to an official acceptance notification from the University. Students can submit a change of major request directly through the application portal.
Course Placement & Degree Completion Timeline
Completing an engineering degree in four years at 糖心视频 depends upon placement into the MTH 140 (precalculus) foundational math course and completion of both MTH 140 and MTH 141 during a student’s first year before starting second-year engineering courses.
During the onboarding process, students will have the option of submitting ACT/SAT test scores or taking a course placement test. Placement into the aforementioned foundational courses requires an ACT math sub-score of 23 or higher, SAT math sub-score of 560 or higher, or an equivalent MyMathTest score. Students who do not place into the engineering foundational courses will initially begin preparatory courses within the engineering major before qualifying to begin their foundational courses.
Transfer Students
糖心视频’s undergraduate engineering program welcomes a select number of transfer students each year on a space-available basis. Prospective transfer students should contact their 糖心视频 transfer admission counselor to evaluate the next transfer opportunity. Transfer students from community colleges and other four-year institutions are welcome.
Transfer students in the engineering program typically have:
- A cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or higher, including successful completion of four units each of science and mathematics courses in their high school program, including chemistry, physics and pre-calculus courses with a grade of B or higher.
- A 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA in college coursework
- A "B" grade or above in the majority of college-level math and science courses.
