The courses taken by engineering students will depend on the major chosen as well as the individual student’s preferences and abilities.
As a starting point, we recommend looking at the suggested academic plan for your preferred major. We also recommend discussing your plan with academic adviser however to ensure your schedule is a good fit for you.
- Suggested Academic Plans from the College of Engineering
- Suggested Academic Plans at Harrisburg
- To find your adviser, log into LionPath (please use browser other than Internet Explorer) and click on Advisor Information to find your advisor’s name and contact information.
To help you plan out your schedule, below is a list of courses commonly taken by engineering students and the semesters they are commonly offered at the Mont Alto campus.
