Lean Systems Engineering Technology, B.S.

Degree Requirements

Students complete the first two years at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) and earn an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Integrated Engineering Technology. They will then transfer to the University of Kentucky for their junior and senior years to earn Bachelor of Science in Lean Systems Engineering Technology.

In addition to the University graduation requirements listed in the Graduation Requirements  section of this Catalog, to be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in any field of engineering or Computer Science, a student must:

1. complete the University and College requirements relating to writing and the UK Core.
2. complete the required number of hours, exclusive of those earned in freshman college algebra and freshman college trigonometry, with a cumulative standing of not less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
3. complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of departmental courses at or above the 300 level.
4. complete all departmental courses and technical electives with a cumulative standing of 2.0 or higher.
5. complete any additional departmental graduation requirements.

Each student must complete the following:

UK Core Requirements
