Course Flowcharts

Our undergraduate students are encouraged to follow an academic timeline that will help expedite their time spent on their degree. These flowcharts illustrate the requirements and semester availability for each class in the BAE curriculum and serve as a guide to help students and their advisors tailor an ideal class schedule to the individual's needs.

Depending on other time constraints, many students also find that taking summer courses and/or extending their time at LSU increases their success rate in this challenging engineering curriculum. Periodically visiting your advisor is recommended.
