Offered by Department of Physics and Physical Science:

Pre-Engineering (for UNL)

UNK's Pre-Engineering program is broadly designed to meet the College of Engineering requirements at UNL. Because requirements for specific engineering programs at UNL and other universities may vary, students should always consult with their advisors before registration. Mechanical Engineering courses from the UNL College of Engineering may be offered in the future at UNK.

Minimum needed to complete pre-professional program = 55
