Pre-Engineering Program

Degree Offered (APE)
The nationally recognized and award-winning College of Engineering at Utah State University has extended its program to Regional Campuses and Distance Education. Students can now take all of the general education and pre-professional engineering courses required for the Associates of Science in Pre-Engineering (APE) Degree and for admission into the professional baccalaureate program on the Logan campus at one of the many USU regional campuses located throughout the state. Distance engineering education students enjoy the same quality instruction as that received on the Logan campus, along with the convenient course scheduling for working students and smaller class sizes.

Engineering Disciplines
A student attending a USU regional campus can earn an APE in Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering. In addition, students can take the required general education and pre- professional classes that prepare them for entry into the Bachelor’s program offered at the Logan campus for the following engineering degrees: Biological, Biological with pre-med, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, and Engineering & Technology Education.

Degree Requirements
Students interested in engineering careers enter the university with a wide variety of educational backgrounds. Therefore, it is necessary for all students to demonstrate a satisfactory level of proficiency in basic engineering, mathematics, science, and English before they are admitted into the Professional Engineering Program.
