Pre-Engineering Information

Typical Course of Study

NOTE: Since the pre-engineering course of study is a general one at SBU, the pre-engineering student should work closely with the pre-engineering advisor (Dr. Harold Chambers) to facilitate any course modification among specific engineering programs.
