Pre Major Vs. Advanced Standing

All freshman and transfer students planning to major in Engineering, Computer Science, or Construction Management are placed in a pre-engineering program corresponding to their choice of major. The Pre-Major program is detailed in the current UNLV Undergraduate Catalog and the College of Engineering website.

Students with Pre-major standing are expected to study English, Mathematics, Science, Engineering Science, Computer Science, and Social Science to demonstrate their readiness and qualifications for pursuing a major program of study. When students have completed approximately 45-50 credits of prescribed freshman/sophomore course work in their program, they can then apply at the Engineering Advising Center for �Advanced Standing� in their major. Advanced Standing status allows students to take upper division course work in their major.

Pre-major courses are indicated on degree checklists with an �*�. When students are about to complete all of their Pre-Major courses, they should inform your Academic Advisor. The Advisor will then file a form and complete a �Change of Major/Standing Form� once the necessary courses are completed.
