ENGINEERING (CIVIL) *

Requirements
Requirements for graduation in the College of Arts and Sciences include:
The College of Arts and Science requires proficiency in a foreign language through the intermediate (2220 or equivalent) level or sign language through the advanced (2614 or equivalent) level. Foreign language courses are not available via distance learning at FSU.

Admissions/Continuation Requirements to the Major Program of Studies
Students should complete the prerequisite coursework with a grade of C minus or higher to be considered for entrance to the major program of study. Students must also have completed a minimum of 52 hours of credit and at least half the required hours in General Education requirements, including required two English and two mathematics, or an A.A degree.

Distance Learning students must complete the A.A. from a Florida public institution, required prerequisites, and a Supplemental Admissions Application prior to admission. Distance Learning students should also complete the oral competency requirement and the College of Arts and Sciences foreign language requirement prior to admissions. In accordance with the University residency rule, degree requirements not available online must be completed prior to the final 30 hours of the degree.

*The undergraduate programs in computer science are limited access*, requiring a minimum 2.65 all college-level work attempted GPA for formal admission. All State Common Program Prerequisites listed as Term 1-4 milestones must be completed with a "C" range (C minus, C, or C+) grade or better. Students earning less than the necessary grade in any of these courses will be required to retake those courses until the standard is met.

Note: retaking a course may delay graduation and incur increased fee liability (i.e., repeat course surcharge and excess credit surcharge).

Upon formal admission into the program, the student must:
• complete all courses required for the major with a grade of "C minus" or better;
• maintain a 2.50 all-college-level-work-attempted GPA, excluding the Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses;
• not receive more than 3 unsatisfactory grades combined in Programming I (COP3014 or COP3363) and Programming II Object-Oriented Programming (COP3330);
• not accumulate more than 5 unsatisfactory grades (U, F, D minus, D, D+) in courses required for the major, excluding Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses, taken after enrolling at FSU.
