Preparation for the WSU Mechanical Engineering programs in Everett and Bremerton

You can fulfill the University’s general education and pre-engineering requirements at any college and complete your WSU mechanical engineering program at WSU Everett, or on the Olympic College campus in Bremerton.

While it isn’t required for admission, we recommend pursuing a transfer degree if possible.

The associate of science track 2 (AST-2) degree is well suited for pre-engineering study, as it includes the majority of WSU general education (UCORE) requirements and allows room for the engineering prerequisites.

Program Acceptance Requirements

• A 2.6 average GPA is required for the courses in the chart below, each completed with a grade C (2.0) or better.
• Once accepted, to remain in the program students must maintain a 2.6 average GPA in major courses required for the degree, each completed with a grade C (2.0) or better.
• No more than one repeat per course is allowed in all ME courses required for the ME degree, including the prerequisites in the chart below.
