Aerospace Engineering, B.S.


In addition to adhering to General Education , students must meet the following requirements to receive the B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at UC Merced. 


All students in the School of Engineering, regardless of major, are required to complete all requirements for all majors with a C- or better unless the course is offered as Pass/No Pass only, which requires a P grade.

Students in the School of Engineering must repeat a required course after receiving a grade of D+, D, D-, F, Unsatisfactory, or Not Passed, and may do so no more than twice beyond the initial enrollment in the class. Students may repeat a course only one time (for a total of two attempts to earn a C- or better). If students do not complete these requirements, they may take these courses at another institution or petition the school that hosts the course for a third attempt. The third attempt is not guaranteed at UC Merced.
