Pre-Engineering

The pre-engineering program at UVU has been created to prepare students to continue their education in many engineering disciplines.  Students may continue into one of the baccalaureate engineering programs at UVU or transfer to another university.  With adequate planning, pre-engineering coursework completed at UVU will transfer to any Utah university offering engineering degrees.

The Pre-engineering program of study will vary markedly from student to student depending on several factors including: high school preparation, engineering discipline of interest, and the intended baccalaureate program. The pre-engineering advisor will consider these factors when designing a program to fit the needs of each individual student. It is therefore important that pre-engineering students consult with the pre-engineering advisor concerning classes appropriate for their educational experience at UVU.
