This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. Courses that expose students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning may be added and notification of additional program approvals may be received prior to finalization. General education program content is also subject to change. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
The minor in aerospace engineering comprises 18 credits. Note that MATH 201, PHYS 207 and EGMN 102 serve as prerequisites for EGMN 201 and/or EGMN 202. EGMN 204 is a prerequisite for EGMN 301. Students must receive credit for required prerequisite credits or permission from the instructor prior to enrolling in the minor courses listed below.
EGRB 310 with a minimum grade of C is an approved substitute for EGMN 202. EGRB 303 with a minimum grade of C is an approved substitute for EGMN 301. Together, CLSE 301 and CLSE 302 are also an approved substitute for EGMN 301, provided that students earn a minimum grade of C in both courses. O ther substitutions and electives can be approved by the department chair.
All courses required for the minor must be completed with a minimum grade of C.
