While at UIndy, the student must also complete UIndy’s general education core as stipulated in the UIndy 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 UIndy 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 UIndy’s general education core according to the regulations in the
University of Indianapolis catalog.
AT IUPUI, the student will also take the following courses:

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: The electrical engineering degree requires a total of 163 credits.
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: An average grade of C or higher is required in all 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 University of Indianapolis General Education Curriculum Guide for additional course requirements.
