The pre-engineering program at UVU has been created for students who plan to complete the first two to three years of their engineering education at the ABET accredited UVU, then either continue at UVU or transfer to a baccalaureate university to complete their engineering degree. With adequate planning, pre-engineering coursework completed at UVU will be sufficient for students to remain at UVU or to transfer to all of the Utah universities with baccalaureate engineering degrees. All students who declare pre-engineering as their major are automatically accepted into pre-engineering status. After completion of the pre-engineering program at UVU, the student applies for professional status at UVU or at an institution of the student’s choice.
