University Policy

All students must meet the requirements stated in the Undergraduate Degrees, Minors, and Credit-Bearing Certificates Policy, including the following:

UMD residency credit requirements for undergraduate degrees include a minimum of 30 semester credits; 15 credits of the last 30 credits; and half of upper-division (3xxx-level or higher) credits that satisfy major requirements.
Undergraduate degree program requirements also include completion of the Liberal Education Program and no more than 20 S/N semester credits.
The University of Minnesota (UMN) GPA required for graduation is a minimum of 2.00, which is cumulative and includes only University of Minnesota coursework from all campuses. Each UMD major, minor, and certificate requires a minimum program GPA of 2.00, which includes transfer coursework meeting requirements for the academic program.

Program Requirements

This major does not require a second field of study (e.g., minor, major, degree).
Students must remain in good academic standing. BSME students placed on academic probation will also be removed from BSME status and will not be readmitted to BSME until they achieve good academic standing with the University.
Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits of math and science courses. The mechanical engineering curriculum uses the math and science required courses listed below to meet this requirement. Courses transferred from other institutions may transfer with fewer credits than the UMD equivalent(s). In this case, to reach the 30 credit minimum, additional coursework within the approved subjects of BIOL, CHEM, EES, MATH, PHYS, and STAT at the 1xxx - 4xxx level can be applied to satisfy this credit difference.
