Program Progression and Additional Graduation Requirements
- Complete a minimum of 30 credits.
- Satisfactorily complete the appropriate Plan of Study. A Plan of Study is a set of courses and a thesis or elective courses chosen and completed in a sequence that meets the needs and interests of the individual student and the degree requirements and other stipulations of the University and the College of Engineering. Prior to or immediately upon admission to the program, students should discuss their options with the graduate advisor. The Plan of Study must be approved no later than the end of the student's first semester in the program, regardless of credits earned.
- Earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for all courses in the approved Plan of Study.
- Maintain minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale throughout the program (see the Probation/Dismissal section of the Graduate Student Guidebook).
- Earn a grade of B minus (B-) or better in each course. A grade of B is considered better than B-.
- Satisfy all degree requirements within seven years from the time of admission to the program.
- Comply with University graduate policies and regulations.
- Satisfy the University's graduate degree requirements.
- Each student completing a thesis must have a graduate committee composed of a minimum of three individuals with at least two from approved engineering faculty.
- Earn more than 50% of the credits toward the degree through FGCU.
- Students must register for a minimum of one credit during the semester in which they apply for graduation.
