PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a Pre-Engineering Program and students with an interest in this program are strongly advised to consult a faculty advisor from the following list:

Dr. Alexandria Oakes aoakes@emich.edu (734) 487-8647
Dr. James Carroll jcarroll@emich.edu (734) 487-8796
Dr. Wade Shen wade.shen@emich.edu (734) 487-8797
Dr. Dan Trochet ptrochet@emich.edu (734) 487-0404

The Pre-Engineering Program is designed for the student who wishes to transfer to an engineering program at another university. Students are strongly advised to consult with the engineering school to which they plan to transfer for specific requirements. Courses taken may apply to other majors at the University if the student chooses to remain on campus to complete a bachelor's degree.

Department advisors in these areas maintain contact with universities that offer related four-year programs in order to maximize the value of the transfer program of study at the University to other universities. Students planning to transfer to four-year programs should not complete EMU's general education requirements.
