About the College of Engineering...

The College of Engineering offers 15 undergraduate degree programs.  Each program requires two minimum GPA's for transfer admissions: (1) cumulative GPA and (2) cumulative math, science, and engineering core GPA.  The GPA is only calculated on courses that are transferable to the College of Engineering.  The two minimum GPA's and prerequisite classes are mandatory for engineering transfer admission.  Contact UM-Engineering for additional information regarding requirements.

Prerequisites for Transfer...

  • A minimum of 4 (semester) credit hours of English composition/writing

  • Calculus I, II, III, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra

  • One year of calculus-based physics with labs (mechanics and electricity & magnetism)

  • One semester of general college chemistry with lab or higher (chemical engineering does not require this lab but does require two additional semesters of organic chemistry with labs)

  • One semester of computer programming in C++

Be advised that 16 credits of humanities & social sciences are required for graduation from the College of Engineering, not for admission.  UM - Ann Arbor encourages students to complete some of these classes prior to admission.  At least two classes (totaling a minimum of 6 credits) must be taken in humanities.  One sequence of courses must also be taken humanities or social sciences, which includes taking at least one course at the 300/400 level.  Please refer to the most recent College of Engineering Bulletin for specific requirements and restrictions on taking classes in these areas. http://www.engin.umich.edu/transferdatabase/college.jsp?id=242
