Grade Requirements

Except for foreign language courses, all WSU courses taken for credit toward the Bachelor of Science degree in Composite Materials Engineering must be taken for a letter grade. In foreign language courses, students may obtain a grade of “P” (pass) either by passing an exam or by successfully completing upper-level foreign language courses.
