The BSET degree program is designed to admit students with an associate degree or equivalent college-level coursework in an appropriate engineering technology or related discipline. A minimum honor point average (HPA) of 2.50 is required for admission into the program. Students with an HPA of 2.00 to 2.50 may be admitted as Pre-ET students; and may be transferred into the ET program upon successful completion of pre-calculus (MAT 1800) and general physics (PHY 2130) courses and an achievement of 2.5 hpa. Classes are usually offered in the evening and during the day. A mathematics placement examination is required of entering students unless they come with advanced credit in pre-calculus. It is recommended that this examination, which is administered by the WSU Testing and Evaluation Services Office (577-3400), be taken prior to the first registration at WSU.

To earn a baccalaureate degree in engineering technology, a minimum of 128 semester credits are required. University policy requires that a maximum of 64 semester credits can be transferred from community colleges to WSU, and a minimum of 30 semester credits must be taken from WSU to earn a baccalaureate degree. Also, the Division policy mandates that at least 24 semester credits must be earned from the Division of Engineering Technology courses.
At graduation, the university requires a minimum 2.00 (C) HPA in the total residence credit. Additionally, the Division requires a minimum 2.00 (C) HPA in the total coursework taken in the area of specialization, and satisfactory achievement on the English Proficiency, Critical Thinking, and other competency examinations, administered by WSU Testing and Evaluation Services Office (577-3400).
