It should be noted that each engineering specialization has its own curriculum. A copy of the curriculum ladder and/or more detailed information may be obtained from the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the pre-engineering advisors.
The College of Engineering at the University of Kentucky offers degree programs in the following engineering fields: agricultural, chemical, civil, electrical, mining and mechanical may be found in their official catalogue.
Students interested in engineering should note that, due to possible changes in the engineering accreditation standards and possible curriculum changes at the University of Kentucky, some courses in the curriculum may change periodically. It is essential that students interested in engineering maintain close contact with the Pre-engineering advisors in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
Students majoring in the Applied Mathematics/Pre-Engineering option and taking their liberal studies through Whitney Young College may have to take additional courses at the engineering institution.
have to take additional courses at the engineering institution.
For the Pure Mathematics Option, students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Liberal Studies General Core courses must take MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, PHY 211 in place of the second natural science, and MAT 304 for the final IGS requirement. Students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Whitney Young Honors courses must take MAT 131, PHY 211, and MAT 304 in place of HON 122 and HON 221. Additional requirements are: MAT 132, 231, 232, 300, 304, 307, 401, 403, 411, and 460; MAT 402 or 404; and any three upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty. All required and elective courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. On the basis of placement test scores, students may also be required to complete MAT 095, 097, 115, or 120. Majors in Mathematics are required to complete, as support courses, COS 108, PHY 211 and 212 with a grade of “C” or better in each of these courses. This curriculum requires a minimum of 46 semester credit hours of mathematics and a minimum total of 128 semester credit hours. The comprehensive exit assessment is completion of MAT 460 with a grade of “C” or better.
A minimum of 124 semester credit hours is required for a major in Mathematics with high school teacher certification. In addition to the University’s Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, PHY 211 in place of other natural science requirements, and MAT 304 as the fourth semester Integrative Studies requirement), students must complete an additional 33 semester credit hours of mathematics and computer science courses (MAT 132, 231, 300, 307, 312, 321, 326, and 401, and COS 108 and 310); and 33 semester credit hours of professional education courses (EDU 202, 203, 302, 303, 304, 310, 411, and 494). The students must complete a capstone experience consisting of obtaining passing scores on the PRAXIS II tests required by the state of Kentucky and successfully completing their student teaching. For specific requirements for teacher certification, interested students should consult the Catalogue section under the School of Education. Students seeking teacher certification should refer to the admission criteria and procedures included in the
