Iowa State University College of Engineering Requirements
Courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better in order to be considered for transfer credits into the
College of Engineering.
All engineering students must successfully complete all “Basic Program” courses (listed below) before progressing to
upper level engineering program coursework.
Students not adequately prepared for success in Calculus I may need to take courses in addition to those listed in
the Basic Program. Some students may first need to successfully complete college algebra (Math 140;
EICC MAT 121) and/or college trigonometry/prep for calculus (Math 142 or 143; EICC MAT 128).
The College of Engineering requires two years of a single foreign language in high school – OR – an equivalent in
college (typically two semesters).
Basic Program courses: required in ALL engineering degree programs at ISU
