This guided pathway in Electrical Engineering outlines the “articulated" degree offered at the Richland Campus with Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU). This pathway prepares you to enter a bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering at PVAMU. You may need to complete additional courses, beyond those listed in this pathway, to be accepted into the Electrical Engineering program at PVAMU. Speak with your academic advisor for more information and a list of additional courses.
This is an example course sequence for students interested in pursuing Electrical Engineering. It does not represent a contract, nor does it guarantee course availability. Following this pathway will help you earn an Associate of Science degree, which will increase your chances of transfer to Electrical Engineering at PVAMU. Students who transfer to PVAMU will not be core complete upon completion of this degree. This degree does not include all core course requirements. Students must earn at least 25% of the credit hours (15 hours) required for graduation through instruction by Dallas College. Courses that complete the degree are noted below. See catalog for official degree requirements.
