ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Offered on Richland Campus in conjunction with the
University of Texas at Dallas

Degree Code: AS.UTD.COMP.ENGR

This is an "Articulated" degree with the University of Texas at Dallas.

Students who complete this degree with no grade below that of "C" and who meet all admissions requirements at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) will be accepted into the UTD's Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program. Students should follow this plan only if they wish to transfer to UTD in Computer Engineering. Students wishing to transfer to another university should not assume this entire plan will transfer.

In order to be eligible to receive this A.S. degree in Computer Engineering, a student must:

  1. Complete a minimum of 60 credit hours indicated in this degree plan;
  2. Earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1301 and the selected college-level mathematics course;
  3. Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 ("C")
  4. Meet all Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements and course prerequisites; and
  5. Complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for graduation through instruction by Dallas College.
