Academic Programs

Associate In Engineering Science (AES.ENGR)

This curriculum is designed for students wanting to pursue a bachelor's degree in engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The University of Illinois requires specific minimum GPAs for entry into the various majors of engineering. Consult an academic advisor at the University of Illinois for important program-specific information.

The associate in engineering science degree requires the completion of 63 credit hours. The sample course sequence below includes the required 63 credit hours plus additional courses recommended for this major. Upon completion of this course sequence, engineering science students will receive an associate in engineering science degree.

Only courses with a course number of 100 or higher meet graduation requirements for the AES degree.

The Illinois Articulation Initiative recommends that transfer students take two humanities/fine arts courses from the same course sequence. Those courses are not planned into the curriculum below but can be taken. The University of Illinois allows you to take those courses at the university or the community college.

This program follows Math Pathway #4. Math requirements for a specific major may vary from one institution to another. Please consult with an academic counselor or academic advisor to confirm the pathway that is applicable to your major and transfer institution.
