Other Engineering Colleges:

The technical curriculum is one that will transfer to almost any engineering program. Humanities course selection should be done in consultation with the Viterbo University Pre-Engineering advisor to maximize the effectiveness of transferring the humanities courses.

Specialty Pre-Engineering curricula:

Typical two-year curricula for pre-chemical engineering and pre-biomedical engineering are shown below. They require more course work in chemistry and/or biology than the general pre-engineering curriculum program.
