Can I take some courses at community colleges?
Yes, students can complete the lower division (100 and 200 level) math, science, and engineering requirements at PSU or at other local transfer institutions. Note that students who are planning to apply to PSU Admissions as a Post-Baccalaureate student should still contact the CEE Department to request a post-bac transfer analysis to apply courses from other institutions toward the major requirements, if applicable.
Do I pay graduate tuition as a post-bac?
Post-bac students are charged the undergraduate tuition rate for all 100-400 level courses at PSU. Graduate tuition rates are applied to all 500 level courses for Post-bac students.
Why can't I register for classes?
The PSU registration system does not always recognize transferred courses when performing prerequisite checks. If this occurs, please complete the CEE Course Override Request Form. Our staff reviews requests with frequency and will be in touch shortly with a response. Be sure to login to your PDX Gmail account to access this form.
How long does it generally take to earn a post-bac BSCE or BSENVE degree?
Depending on your math placement or previous math experience, a student can take between 3 and 4 years to complete a degree if they are able to attend full-time. Once admitted to PSU, you can work with one of our engineering advisors to develop a course plan specific to your experience and needs.
Are there any special Financial Aid considerations?
Students should speak directly with the PSU Financial Aid office to find out what their options are.
