The following unit requirements are necessary for the B.S. in engineering management:
EM Degree Requirements
General Education (27 units)
Engineering Management majors have modified General Education programs depending upon the year and enrollment status as a college student. Returning and transfer students should consult an advisor before planning their General Education programs.
In addition to the required major program courses, Engineering Management majors must satisfactorily complete General Education Plan R requirements in Analytical Reading and Expository Writing (3 units), Oral Communication (3 units), U.S. History and Local Government (6 units), Arts and Humanities (6 units), Social Sciences (3 units), and Comparative Cultural Studies (6 units). Six of the General Education Plan R units must be at the Upper-Division.
Students should carefully consult their four-year plan and confer with their faculty advisor when selecting their General Education Plan R courses
