Undeclared Major with Intended Engineering Interest
Effective May 17, 2024 FYS1020 and CAR0010 will no longer be requirements in our undergraduate programs.
The Undeclared major with intended engineering interest is for the student who desires an engineering major but needs additional mathematics preparation before direct entrance into an engineering degree program. Students who successfully complete the requirements to matriculate into an engineering program after two semesters are enrolled into a B.S. program in either Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Biomedical Engineering in their second year of study. Requirements are outlined in the “Pathway to Engineering Contract for Success” and include advising, tutoring, and achievement of a 2.75 GPA in engineering, math and science courses during their first two semesters.

Students that do not place in MATH1040 Calculus I will need to take an extra course(s), MATH1020 Fundamentals of Algebra and/or MATH1030 Precalculus, as prerequisite; depending on placement. If needed this may count as an A&S or Free elective.
Note: Students must pass MATH0010 Pre-Algebra or have equivalent placement scores to enroll in required math courses.
Undergraduate
Johnson & Wales University holistically reviews all elements of a student’s application to identify those students most likely to succeed at the university.
For students applying as a first-year student, a completed application and high school transcript(s) are required, except in circumstances where a student is homeschooled or where the traditional high school transcript is, for various reasons, not available. For students applying as a transfer student, a completed application, high school and/or college transcript(s) is required for admissions review.
Successful candidates for first year admission have taken a high school, college preparatory academic program including English, mathematics, science, social science and foreign language. Admissions decisions may also consider individual experiences and particular circumstances unique to each student. Other considerations are made based upon recommendations, writing ability and extracurricular activities.
Visiting campus, both in‐person or virtually, and interacting with admissions staff are all valuable ways of assuring that JWU is the right university for you.
