Notes

Admission: Upper-division transfer admission: qualified transfer students not currently matriculated at Stony Brook who have completed the required prerequisite courses may apply through the SUNY application. Minimum requirements: a 3.0 cumulative GPA in College Calculus I, College Calculus II, College Calculus III, and Introduction to Differential Equations, with no grade below C, from regionally accredited institutions or recognized by the Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction of the State of New York; and a minimum grade of C in an English composition course judged equivalent to WRT 102.
Admission: Acceptance into the major: applications are reviewed twice per year and must be received by January 5 (Spring admission) or June 5 (Fall admission). Requirements: at least 9 credits of mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering online courses required for the major (excluding EEO 300 and EEO 302), and a GPA of 3.00 or higher in all mathematics, physics, and engineering courses (excluding EEO 300 and EEO 302) applicable to major requirements with no more than one grade less than C. These must be completed no later than one year after enrolling in the first course that applies toward major entry.
Admission: Students pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering may not apply for a double major in the Electrical Engineering Online program. Students with a minor in Electrical Engineering may not pursue the Electrical Engineering Online program.
Note: Requirements and courses marked with an (*) are typically completed via transfer credit prior to matriculation.
Note: The major requires approximately 66 credits. Students must also complete the Stony Brook Curriculum general degree requirements.
Advising: MAT 211 is not available online. Refer to the transfer database for the most current evaluations.
Advising: Open Electives should be selected in consultation with the program advisor.
SBC: EEO 440 and EEO 441 partially satisfy the following SBC categories: ESI, CER, SPK, WRTD, SBS+, STEM+, EXP+. For more information contact the CEAS Undergraduate Student Office.
Note: Students are responsible for completing the general education requirements published in the Bulletin in effect at the start of their first semester of matriculation (or rematriculation). The DIV learning objective applies to certain student groups as stated in the catalog SBC note.
