Graduation Requirements
Please note: The following list of graduation requirements refers to the CSU-Pueblo Catalog in effect in the Fall 2007. Students usually graduate by meeting the requirements listed in the catalog in effect on the date they begin their studies at CSU-Pueblo. They may elect to graduate under a subsequent catalog but must then meet all requirements listed in that document.
A student must complete 124 credit hours in order to graduate with a BSCET degree. This program can be completed in four years (eight semesters) by a student going to school on a full-time basis. Students working full-time jobs are encouraged to carry a lighter course load and to complete the curriculum in a correspondingly longer time frame. The requirements can be broken into several broad categories as follows.
