B.S. in Electrical Engineering
Direct Bachelors Option
This guide has been prepared for students seeking a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, beginning at
Columbia Basin College and finishing at Washington State University Tri-Cities. This guide allows students to meet some
WSU University Common Requirements (UCORE). major requirements and some College of Engineering & Architecture
requirements. This Plan of Study is a guide for both students and counselors/advisors to use together. Please be
aware that classes, admissions, and degree requirements are subject to change, so it is critical that students stay
in touch with their advisor.
