BS/SE Program Curriculum
To earn the bachelor of science degree, students must satisfy all baccalaureate degree requirements as described in the Undergraduate Catalog. These requirements include:
- General education requirements ensuring competency in written and oral communication, information technology, quantitative reasoning, literature, history and civilization, natural and social sciences, global understanding, and synthesis;
- The residency requirement that one-fourth of the total semester hours presented on the degree application must be completed at the university and must include at least 12 semester hours of system engineering courses at the 300 level or above;
- The academic requirement of a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grade of C or above in all required SYST and OR courses.
- At least 120 credits that can be counted towards graduation.
In addition to the general and university general education requirements for the
B.S. degree, students must meet specific requirements for this degree as
described below.
- Mathematics and statistics: MATH 113, 114, 203, 213, 214; STAT 346,
354
- Natural sciences: PHYS 160, 161, 260, 261; CHEM 251 (or CHEM 211)
- Computer science: CS 112, 211
- Humanities and social sciences: COMM 100; ENGL 101, 302; ECON 103; approved
courses in literature, western civilization, global understanding, and fine
arts to satisfy
the university's general education requirement.
- Engineering: ENGR 107
- Systems engineering: SYST 101, 210, 220, 221, 320, 330, 335, 371,
470, 473, 489, 490, 495, OR 441, 442 and three technical electives
from six possible tracks.
Course Prerequisites and Co-requisites
Course prerequisites or corequisites state requirements for student entry into courses and reflect necessary preparation for attempting the courses. It is the students responsibility to meet the pre-and co-requisites of their courses. Students not meeting these requirements will be dropped from the course.
Transfer Students Students transferring into the BSSE program from other institutions of higher education or other IT&E Programs may elect to replace SYST 101 with a technical elective. Please refer to the VCCS Transfer Guide and the General Education Transfer Equivalent for information on course correspondences between the Virginia Community College system and George Mason University. All students, including transfer students, must take SYST 210, 220, 221, and 320 in order to graduate with a BS degree in Systems Engineering.
