Important Notes
Depending on your year of entry, graduation requirements may differ.
In particular, students pursuing an additional major or a minor may have different individual graduation requirements.
Check your graduation eligibility under Hanyang Portal > MY Home > Grades and Graduation Assessment > Graduation Assessment Inquiry. Contact the administrative office if you have questions.
Students entering in 2021 or later must complete engineering education accreditation. Therefore,
they must meet both college graduation requirements and engineering accreditation requirements.
Check completion of engineering accreditation courses under Hanyang Portal > MY Home > Student Information > Student Portfolio > Engineering Accreditation > Course Completion Status. For extracurricular requirements, contact the Center for Engineering Education Innovation directly.

Meet engineering accreditation requirements
The Department of Marine Science and Convergence Engineering has participated in the engineering accreditation program since 2021. Accreditation is mandatory for students entering in 2021 or later.
To graduate, you must meet both college graduation requirements and all engineering accreditation requirements below.
- Meet the minimum credit requirements for engineering accreditation
- Complete required engineering accreditation courses
- Complete prerequisites before subsequent courses
- Complete at least 12 design credits
- Complete the required extracurricular activities
- Submit the Learning Outcomes Assessment Form (Year 4, Semester 2)
1. Meet the Minimum Credit Requirements for Engineering Accreditation
-
At least 54 major credits, including 12 design credits
-
At least 30 MSC credits (27 for students graduating in February 2025 or later)
-
At least 15 credits in specialized liberal arts
Course classifications differ between the college curriculum and the engineering accreditation program.
For example, Calculus 1 and Engineering Mathematics are both MSC courses for engineering accreditation, but are classified by the university as a foundational major course and a major core course, respectively. Check the classifications when registering for courses.
2. Complete Required Engineering Accreditation Courses
-
Introduction to Marine Science and Convergence Engineering
-
Marine Science and Convergence Engineering Capstone Design 1

Complete design courses in the order Introductory Design → Component Design → Capstone Design.
Design credits are recognized when Introductory Design and Component Design courses, or Component Design and Capstone Design courses, are taken concurrently. Introductory Design credits are not recognized when Introductory Design and Capstone Design courses are taken concurrently. Design credits for Introductory Design and Component Design courses taken after Capstone Design are also not recognized. For example, completing Marine Science and Convergence Engineering Capstone Design 2 in the first semester and Coastal Environmental Risk Assessment in the second semester yields 5 course credits but only 2 design credits, from the capstone course.
5. Complete Required Extracurricular Activities for Engineering Accreditation
-

For extracurricular activities to be recognized, submit the required documents directly to the Center for Engineering Education Innovation (Room 115, Engineering Building 3).
After attending seminars related to your major on or off campus, submit proof of attendance and a reflection report. No separate documents are required for community service completed for course credit. For external activities totaling 30 hours, submit supporting documents such as a volunteer service certificate.
6. Complete and Submit the Learning Outcomes Assessment Form (Year 4, Semester 2)
Check completion of engineering accreditation courses under Hanyang Portal > MY Home > Student Information > Student Portfolio > Engineering Accreditation > Course Completion Status. For extracurricular requirements, contact the Center for Engineering Education Innovation directly.
Minimum Major Credits by Program Option
If the graduation credit requirements for your primary major and an additional major differ, you must meet the higher total credit requirement. The required credits for your primary major are reduced while you pursue an additional major. If you withdraw from the additional major, the original primary-major credit requirements apply again. Figures in parentheses indicate required major core credits.
| College | Credit Requirements | Single Major | With a Minor | With an Additional Major | Second Major | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major | Minor | Major | Second Major | ||||
| College of Science and Convergence Technology (2020–2023 Curriculum) | 130 | 60(30) | 36(30) | 24(9) | 36(30) | 36(18) | 36(18) |
This table shows the minimum major credit requirements for the College of Science and Convergence Technology, to which the department belonged under the 2020–2023 curriculum. For other colleges, including the College of Engineering and the College of Computing, refer to the academic affairs guide.
