No Pass-Fail courses allowed except for Ethics overlay requirement.
Students must earn a minimum Major GPA of 2.0 (truncated). Major GPA includes all required NRE and ME classes plus classes used for the concentration. If a class is repeated, only the last grade is included in the calculation.
- 1
Minimum grade C
- 2
Ethics Overlay may be Core IMPACTS Arts, Humanities, & Ethics or Social Sciences and can be any course from the GT-approved list: http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/ethics/.
