Admission Requirements

Students will be admitted to the program with an Associate in Science degree in Computer Engineering Technology Network Specialization. Students admitted under this articulated agreement will be required to satisfy the General Education requirements either at UCF or the courses may be taken at a community college. When applying for admission students need to make sure they indicate on the application form AS-BS IST.

Degree Requirements

• Students should check with their ENT advisor frequently to ensure that they are making proper progress toward the degree.
• A grade of “C” (2.0) or better is required in all prerequisites and upper level courses.

Transfer Notes:

• Students transferring from any Florida public institution with an AA degree or with the general education program (GEP) requirements of that institution met have thereby satisfied UCF GEP requirements.
• Students entering a UCF undergraduate program and having a previously earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution have thereby satisfied UCF GEP requirements. (See also the section on the GEP found elsewhere in this catalog.)
• Courses taken from Community Colleges do not substitute for Upper Division Courses.
• Courses transferred must be formally evaluated for equivalency credit. The student must provide all supporting information to the ENT Department for this evaluation.
• ENT Departmental Residency Requirements consist of at least 32 semester hours of regularly-scheduled 3000 or 4000 level courses taken from the UCF ENT Department.

Tentative Course Schedule for Transferring Students

The tentative course schedule listed below is a guide for those students who plan on completing their upper division engineering technology degree requirements in two years. Many students choose to spread out these requirements over a longer period of time. All engineering technology students should meet with their faculty advisor to develop and maintain an appropriate plan of study.
