Application of Mississippi Community College Courses to Degree Programs in the

Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University

 

Courses taken at Community and Junior Colleges may be transferred to Mississippi State University. Courses may be applied to engineering degree programs as detailed above. Only courses in which a student has obtained a grade of ‘C’ or better will be applied. All courses will, however, appear on the student’s transcript and be used in calculating cumulative grade point averages. The number of hours that may be applied to a degree varies with each program. Up to a maximum of one-half of the total hours in a degree program may be transferred from a two-year institution. In some programs one-half of the hours are not taught in two-year institutions so the total hours to be transferred is less than half the total degree hours. If a zero is entered for a course above, then that particular course is not required for that major and no credit can be given. Please visit our web page at www.bagley.msstate.edu for the latest information.

 

All engineering programs require a total of 128 hours for graduation and a maximum of 64 hours from an accredited two-year institution may be applied to a degree.

 

All students are encouraged to take SPT 1113 Public Speaking even if it is not a part of the program of study. This class will prove useful to all engineers in their careers.

 

Only humanities, social/behavioral sciences, and fine arts that articulate directly to courses listed as Mississippi State University Core Curriculum Courses in the MSU Bulletin will apply towards a degree. The most frequent course taken that does not apply is PSY 1523, General Psychology II. Please consult you Community/Junior College advisor if you have questions.

 

 

Application of Community /Junior College Computer Science (CSC) Courses to
Mississippi State University College of Engineering Curricula

 

As a result of the computer initiative in the Bagley College of Engineering and the ever evolving software in use, many programs have eliminated formal programming courses and others have made modifications to their programming requirements. Some specifics are listed below.


Biological Engineering

One course in C or C++ is required. This may be taught from either a functional or object-oriented approach.
Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering

There is no separate programming requirement for these degrees. The necessary computing and  programming skills are developed within the curriculum major courses.


 

Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Software Engineering

Object-oriented programming is required. The programming language used is not as important as is the fact that the programming course be taught using the object-oriented approach. The table below serves as a guide for placement in Computer Science Courses at MSU. Additional credit may be given on an individual basis after and evaluation is performed by the Computer Science Department.
