Concentrations:
*BAS students are not CEC students. However, BAS students in the above mentioned concentrations take courses offered by CEC departments. |
Academic Plans - Course requirements for each CEC major in a semester-by semester format.
To provide students with the resources they need to plan for their time at Mason and in the College of Engineering and Computing, we have developed 4-year academic plans and degree worksheets. The plans contain course-by-course progression to graduation while the degree worksheets act as a checklist.
When used in combination with academic advising, these tools allow students to create their own personalized road map for success and degree completion.

Previous Academic Years
Pre-Orientation Advising for admitted Transfer Students
To prepare for your Transfer Student Orientation, Mason offers the option to request a pre-orientation advising meeting with an academic advisor from your major. Be aware that not all the departments provide the service. If a department provides the service, however, you must first request a transcript evaluation from the Office of Admissions and complete a certificate from Patriot Preview.
Pre-orientation advising is most effective after your transfer credits have been evaluated and you have completed the Patriot Preview Certificate. Please continue to monitor your Patriot Web account after you submit your request. When your credits are reflected on your Mason transcript and you have your Patriot Preview Certificate, contact your department to inquire if they are available for pre-orientation advising.
Accelerated Master's Program
If you have a strong GPA and have shown yourself to be a motivated student, the accelerated master’s path might be right for you. Students who pursue this program can graduate with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in just 5 years, giving them a head start on a successful career. See your Undergraduate Academic Advisor for more details before you apply.
Our academic advisors assist students in personal development and creating strategic course plans to meet the requirements of their majors and minors. Academic Advisors also suggest opportunities that can enhance their experience at Mason.
