Its purpose is to afford students the opportunity to pre-plan theircollege careers, to enable students to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at LRC anda Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Software Engineering at Gannon.MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR ARTICULATION STUDENTS Students must have a minimum cumulative LRC grade point average (GPA) of 3.0o In addition, the School of Engineering at Gannon requires a minimum grade of“C” for all Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science courses.o Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor at Gannon prior totheir first semester there to discuss their transition and any particular issuesrelating to their desired program of study. At a minimum, Gannon will accept all 72 credits listed on the attached LRC Pre-SoftwareEngineering curriculum sheet (Appendix A) toward fulfillment of the requirements forthe Software Engineering BS degree (Appendix B), provided grades of “C” or better areearned in the aforementioned subject areas. All students articulating to Gannon must be approved by the LRC sciences facultycommittee and Dean of Students to insure that all academic and conduct standards aremet. GPA is used to make an admissions decision but does not transfer.
