OPTION 2 - TWO OR THREE YEARS:
Some students interested in a career in engineering enter college needing to review math and science skills necessary for success in the engineering field. This option allows students to take preliminary courses in science and to review algebra and trigonometry before enrolling in calculus. Since calculus is crucial for success in physics and sophomore engineering courses, these students may need up to three years of study before they are ready to transfer to an engineering college with junior status.
