PRE-ENGINEERING

Two-Year Pre-Engineering Program Recommended for Transfer to Wichita State University

This program has been designed for students planning to spend two years at Emporia 

State University, and then transfer to Wichita State University or an out-of-state school 

to complete the requirements leading to the B.S. in engineering.

Humanities and Social Sciences:

Students will be required to complete 17-18 hours of humanities and social science course work, 

including the following requirements:



A.  One course from each of two different social science departments.

B.  One course from each of three different humanities or fine arts departments.

C.  A second higher-level course in one of the five course areas listed above.



Note: Courses such as band, chorus, orchestra, drawing, painting and sculpture are not 

acceptable.



Courses that may be taken at Emporia State University to fulfill these requirements include:



Anthropology		Any course except AN200, 355, 356 (SS)

Art			Only AR225, 235 accepted (HU)

Economics*		Any course

English			Any course except EN100, 101, 108, 109, 110, 260, 265 (HU)

Foreign Language	Only credits earned in second year courses may apply (HU)

History			Any course (HU)

Music			Only MU226, 228 accepted (HU)

Philosophy		Any course (HU)

Political Science	Any course (SS)

Psychology		Only PY100, 230, 231, 333, 401, 432 (SS)

Sociology		Any course except SO125, 350, 351, 352, 353, 403, 418, 480 (SS)

Theatre Arts		Only TA125 (HU)



*Industrial Engineering majors must complete Economics I and II (which also satisfies the 

requirement of a second higher level humanities or social science course).





The Wichita State University has an excellent cooperative education program associated with 

industries in Wichita, the state of Kansas, and in other states as well.  One hour of engineering 

credit can be earned for each semester that a student is enrolled in the program.  For more 

information about the Cooperative Education Program, contact the WSU School of Engineering.
