Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Double Major BS - Program Requirements

Students seeking an undergraduate degree from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 in technical classes (engineering, math, and science classes). To maintain academic standards and determine eligibility for continued enrollment, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences reviews the academic records of all students in an approved undergraduate SEAS major. This academic review is conducted at the end of each fall and spring semester.

Advisement tools available for our students:

• Course Flowsheets: These interactive online flowsheets will highlight pre-requisite and co-requisite courses to help identify which courses must be completed. See the Course Prerequisite Policy for details.
• Changing Majors within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences: Students may change majors and minors within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences if they meet the relevant criteria. Students should submit the Major/Minor Change Application before the appropriate deadline. View School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Major/Minor Change Information.
• UB Curriculum Pathway Selection: Pathways are a central component of the UB Curriculum. Students are required to complete both a Global and Thematic pathway. Each pathway requires a minimum of 9 credit hours, typically satisfied by completing three courses of three or more credit hours. View Pathway Information for Engineering and Computer Science Students.

Transfer students must first apply to the university and meet the university transfer admission requirements. SUNY Seamless Transfer is a SUNY-wide program intended to make transferring to UB and other SUNY schools simple and efficient. Information about the Transfer Path for this major can be found on the SUNY website. Students are encouraged to contact their academic advisor or department to discuss how their coursework will apply to their degree.

Transfer students who have completed an engineering science program at a community college or the first three years of a 3+2 program at a four-year college can typically expect to enter the third year of an engineering program at the University at Buffalo. Graduates of technology programs receive limited transfer credit and can expect three to four years of study at the university to complete the requirements.
