Emphasis Degrees

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCES DEGREE WITH AN EMPHASIS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Offered at Richland College in conjunction with the
University of Texas at Dallas

Degree Code: AS.UTD.MECH.ENGR

Students who complete this degree with a GPA of 2.50 with no grade below that of "C" and who meet all admissions requirements at UTD will be accepted into the UTD's Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering program. Students should follow this plan only if they wish to transfer to UTD in Mechanical Engineering. Students wishing to transfer to another university should not assume this entire plan will transfer.

In order to be eligible to receive this AS degree, a student must:

1. Complete a minimum of 66 credit hours indicated in this degree plan;
2. Earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1301, Speech 1311, 1315 or 1321, and Math 2413;
3. Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 ("C")
   [NOTE:  UTD guarantees admission with a 2.50 GPA with no grade below a “C”];
   
4. Meet all Texas Success Initiative (TSI) standards and course prerequisites; and
5. Complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for graduation through instruction by the college awarding the degree.

Students who plan to transfer to UTD must work closely with an advisor/counselor.
