Major Declaration
Freshmen admission to engineering majors is to a ‘pre-major’ status (i.e., Pre-Biomedical Engineering). Continuation in the major will be subject to meeting specific lower division course and GPA requirements at CSULB that indicate the student’s ability to succeed and complete the major. Transfer applicants and CSULB students seeking admission into Biomedical Engineering must also meet similar major specific requirements. To become fully admitted into the Biomedical Engineering major, all prospective students (i.e., pre-majors, undeclared, major changes) must have a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA and complete the following lower-division courses with a minimum grade of “C” prior to earning 60 units:
Core Lower-Division Major Requirements:
