College of Engineering requirements:

Although students can apply for direct enrollment in the College of Engineering based on high school GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and a strong record of math/science courses, admission to engineering majors is competitive and based on performance in the foundational courses required of each major. Regional campus students can “campus change” to the College of Engineering on Columbus campus after completing 30 credit hours  of coursework, which includes core math and science courses, with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Students should consult the engineering academic advisor when planning their schedules and applying for campus change.
