Undergraduate Degree Progress and Minors FAQ
Degree Progress
- All engineering students are required to take seven humanity/social science courses (21 credit hours total) from several different categories.
- For ISE students, you must also take an additional engineering ethics course.
- Humanity/social science GEP courses must be taken for a grade.
- The list of approved courses depends on the curriculum. Your degree audit will be the most accurate resource of approved GEP courses which are tied to your start date at NC State.
- Use your degree audit as your guide for planning courses.
- If you want to deviate from the suggested sequence of courses in the degree audit, be sure you will meet prerequisites for future courses.
- Industrial engineering course offerings are more frequent. Most 200-, 300-, and some 400-level ISE courses are offered two times a year.
