Chemical Engineering Program

Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses. No grade lower than C- will be accepted on any courses transferred to the University of Houston.

Students must earn a 2.25 grade point average in all courses and in CHEE major courses in order to enroll in 3000-level and above chemical engineering courses. A major grade point average of 2.000 or better is required for graduation. The major grade point average is calculated using all CHEE courses plus ENGI 3363. Prerequisites and/or corequisites must be met.
