University/College Admission Requirements

It is recommended that potential applicants meet with an advisor to review the program and course schedule and have any questions answered prior to completing an application. To be admitted to the program at Ferris State University, students must complete the GRCC course work with a “C” or Higher (2.0 on 4.0 scale). A minimum 2.5 GPA is required, and students will need to submit all official college transcripts with their application. The Ferris State University course rotation (at the GRCC Campus) only begins every other fall semester in the odd years.

Transfer Notes

Contact the College of Engineering Technology advisor at Ferris State University if there are questions on specific transfer requirements. Once admitted, students must continue to meet with an advisor as they work toward graduation.

Students should take a Humanities course that meets the Ferris State University Cultural Enrichment requirement.

A higher level calculus course may be used in place of the math courses listed above. Students should consult with a Ferris State University advisor to determine transferability.

In What Order Should I Take Classes?

Please select courses from the Priority I list.  Select courses based on the number of credits you are taking in the semester, for example, if you are a part time student you do not have to take all of the courses listed.  If you are unable to schedule Priority I courses, move to and select from the list of Priority II, Priority III, and Priority IV courses.

NOTE: This priority schedule assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.
