Notes: 1. To be in good academic standing within the MAE department, each student must maintain a minimum 3-GPA calculation of 2.25 in the pre-professional program. Further, in the professional program, each
student must maintain a minimum UTA cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a minimum major GPA of 2.0. 2. No professional course may be taken unless the student is admitted into the professional program or obtains the
consent of the Undergraduate Advisor. Professional courses may be taken to fill out a schedule in the semester that the last pre-professional course is taken. 3. Some professional courses are offered only once a year.
Students are urged to plan their course sequence schedules carefully to avoid delaying their graduation.
