Bachelor's Education

          The most important is receiving a degree, such as a bachelors.  The bachelor's degree that I would obtain for example at Lawrence Tech would be the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. This Bachelor offers employment in various fields. The amount of credits needed to get a bachelor at Lawrence Technological University would is a 132-credit- hour program which consists various studies. There are certain amount of hours and classes you need in order to graduate. 
The classes that a student should take are:

  •  19 hours of Humanities
  •  40 hours of Computer Science, Math, etc
  •  61 hours of actual mechanical engineering core
  •  12 hours of electives towards mechanical engineering.

Total= 132 Credit Hours

With these classes you have many opportunities to do many different things especially involving hands-on which is my favorite.
Lawrence Technological University accepts AP Credits as well. I am in Spanish 5 AP at my high school and they will take 6 credits for Spanish 1 & 2 if you receive a 4 or higher on the final exam. I am also taking AP Psych which can give me 3 credits with a 4 or higher on the AP exam. I am very glad that I took AP classes and that Lawrence Tech accepts them. They are transferred with your ACT scores when you are applying  to the school.
