How to Apply
So environmental resources engineering sounds interesting, but you are still not sure if HSU is right for you? Explore what HSU has to offer to both freshman and transfer students.
The ERE major requires a total of 133 units, including General Education. Forty-five of the total units are lower division major courses and 43 units of upper division major courses. In addition, students must choose 3 design electives and one upper division science elective. A challenging four year graduation plan is highlighted in Course Selection Advice section. Many students with transfer credits and other interests schedule a different route through the major. These students often find it easiest to schedule their courses using the department flow chart which graphically links the required course by their prerequisites.
