While at U of I, the student must also complete U of I’s general education core as stipulated in the U of I Academic
Catalog, with the following additional restrictions due to requirements established by IUPUI.
 ENGL 101 & 102, plus COMM 100, will count for ENG W131 plus COMM R 110 at IUPUI.
 Modern Language 101 & 102 (8 hrs. total), plus a 2-hour or a 3-hour lecture/theory course in Fine Arts will count for
one introductory level plus two upper level humanities courses at IUPUI.
 At least two* of the cross-cultural, social inquiry, or religion courses selected to fulfill the U of I core must be 300level courses, and must NOT be broad survey courses. (* Provided the student takes 8 hours of foreign language,
only one of the cross-cultural courses needs to be a 300-level or higher course.)
 The philosophy course needs to be PHIL 201 Ethics, which will count for ECE 401 at IUPUI.
 The student must take TCM 360 at IUPUI.
The student may select the remaining courses in U of I’s general education core according to the regulations in the
University of Indianapolis catalog. During the third year, the student must apply as a transfer student to IUPUI. Courses
in which the student has earned grades lower than C will not transfer between universities.
During the remaining semesters of this program, the student will take the following courses at U of I:

*The student is also required to choose 4 additional courses as computer electives (and may petition IUPUI to have U of I
CSCI electives transferred if desired).
NOTE: Due to the complex nature of this program, the student should consult regularly (at least once a semester) with
his/her faculty advisor.
NOTE: A grade of C- (1.7 on a 4.0 scale) or higher is required in all courses in the Bachelor of Science Degree at
the University of Indianapolis. A minimum of 124 hours is required to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree from the
University of Indianapolis.
NOTE: A average grade of C or higher is required in all required Electrical Engineering courses for the Bachelor
of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University.
This program may require attendance in both day and extended programs classes.
See the College of Arts & Sciences General Education Core Guide/Bachelor of Arts or Science for additional
course requirements.
REMEMBER: If you have any questions about the Computer Engineering Major (or other engineering
or physics) requirements, contact a faculty advisor from the Physics & Earth Space Science Department
(Dr. Timothy Duman: 788-3311, Lilly Science Hall, Room 232C) or Krista Swisher, Key Advisor for
the College of Arts & Sciences (788-3391, Esch Hall, Room 233). Courses and requirements sometimes
change so keep in contact with your advisor.
