GPA requirements for admission status are generally higher than for electrical and computer engineering graduates. GPA refers to grade point average). Students from programs such as physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering (other than electrical or computer), and other programs usually lack background in areas of work required of electrical and computer engineering students. Each student's remedial course requirements must be assessed on an individual basis.
The exact nature of courses which a student may need should be decided by the student and his or her interim advisor. Students crossing from CPE to EE or EE to CPE may also require additional undergraduate (or MS level) course work. Typical needs are the following. Bachelor's Degree Background.

However, these courses, if taken at Virginia Tech, will be counted by the Graduate School toward a student's overall grade point average (GPA). These courses may be taken concurrently with graduate level EE/CPE courses, assuming prerequisites are met.
