Undeclared Major with Intended Engineering Interest
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, Robotics 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 who graduate with a bachelor's degree must leave Johnson & Wales University with effective writing skills to fulfill the graduation writing requirement. These writing skills are assessed in ENG1021 Rhetoric & Composition II. Students who have met the requirement of ENG1021 Rhetoric & Composition II or ENG1027 Honors Advanced Composition and Communications: Civic Discourse outside of Johnson & Wales University must fulfill the graduation writing requirement through successful completion of ENG0001 Writing Workshop.
