What is the minimum grade required in the first major course for admission into a Technical Major?

The minimum grade required in the first major course for admission into a Technical Major is a B. This grade standard ensures that students have a solid foundational understanding of the subject matter before progressing into more advanced technical courses. Maintaining a higher minimum grade requirement motivates students to engage with the content more deeply and supports their readiness for the rigorous demands of technical programs.

A C grade, while passing, does not reflect the level of competence expected for success in technical fields, which often require precise skills and knowledge. Similarly, grades of A and D are not applicable as A is above the requirement and D indicates insufficient understanding of the requisite material for advanced study. This policy helps to ensure that students are adequately prepared, ultimately supporting their academic and professional success in technical careers.
