Pre-Engineering

Why Study Pre-Engineering?

Major | Engineering/Science | CAS

A broad field with a host of focus areas ranging from aerospace engineering to mechanical engineering, engineering is an in-demand field with exciting career prospects. As a pre-engineering student at UWRF, you’ll typically complete two years of physics, math, engineering and chemistry courses at UWRF. Following those two years, you’ll apply and transfer to an engineering university of your choice. Most students are able to earn an engineering degree in a total of four years and you’ll benefit from our affordable tuition and supportive environment while making progress toward your degree.
