Advisement
Students are normally assigned a faculty mentor when they enter their freshman year. All engineering students are also encouraged to take advantage of advisement offered by the SEAS Office of Undergraduate Education in 410 Bonner Hall. Entering freshmen are offered a wide range of special advisement opportunities and academic help sessions by the Office of Undergraduate Education.
Transfer Policy
Transfer students must first apply to the university and meet the university transfer admission requirements. See School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for Transfer Policy.
Aerospace Engineering - B.S.
Acceptance Criteria
See School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for Acceptance Information. Students may apply for admission to Aerospace Engineering when they enter the University as freshmen, as transfer students, or later in their academic careers. To remain in Aerospace Engineering and to be permitted to take upper-level (300/400 level) Aerospace Engineering Courses, students must satisfy the following requirements:
1)Successful completion of the following five courses with at least a 2.2 GPA: MTH 141, MTH 142, PHY 107, MAE 204, EAS 207. If a course is repeated, the grade that is counted is the grade earned the second time, even if this grade is lower than the grade earned the first time.
2)Minimum overall and UB GPA of 2.0 to be considered in academic good standing with the University.
