Engineer Revisions

Published on April 19, 2011

NOTICE
Bemidji State University
Re-calibration

Some revisions in the BAS Applied Engineering and BAS Technology degree programs are being developed. These revisions are primarily due to re-calibration efforts at Bemidji State University and brought on by budget reductions for both the State of Minnesota and the Minnesota State College and University System. The proposed changes will take effect at either the beginning of Fall or Spring Semester, depending on the speed of the required approval process at the university.

Based on budget cuts, the number of course offerings will be reduced for each semester. It will be important for you to work closely with your advisor to schedule and monitor your degree progress, and to keep you on track to graduate within your time frame.

Students should not be impacted negatively in any significant way by these revisions. The specific impacts on students will be different, depending on the courses already completed by individual students. Some courses are being combined, some are changing credits, and there will be some minor modifications in the Required Core and Elective Areas.

The proposed changes will be posted on the web sometime in the next 3-4 weeks. There will be ample time to work with your advisor, or Dr. Jim McCracken over the summer months to assess your individual situation and to determine your schedule for next school year. Dr. McCracken is traveling in China until May 4th so will not be available to answer questions until that time. Dr. Brauer will be available to answer any questions before then. Thank you very much for your patience.
