Consult the Rice University General Announcements for the general university requirements for undergraduate degrees. A BA in ECE program must have a total of at least 120 semester hours, and include the following courses. A course can satisfy only one program requirement, except for laboratory. Students who place out of required courses without transcript credit must substitute other approved courses in the same area.
