Catalog Navigator : Pre-Engineering Transfer Program

Students who wish to pursue a bachelor's degree in engineering may participate in the Pre-Engineering Transfer Program. The application process and timeline for the School of Engineering may be found at: https://www.ugadmissions.rutgers.edu/SchoolToSchool.

Pre-Engineering Transfer Program
Students admitted to the Newark College of Arts and Sciences may apply for school-to-school transfer to the School of Engineering. Students interested in transferring should complete one year of pre-engineering courses at Newark College of Arts and Sciences and must satisfactorily meet the standards of the School of Engineering in order to be considered for admission. As is the case with other preprofessional programs, competition is intense and admission to the School of Engineering is not guaranteed. Interested students should contact the pre-engineering adviser in the Office of Academic Services, 312 Hill Hall, Newark Campus at the earliest opportunity.

For more information on both of the pre-engineering programs as well as the pre-engineering adviser, please visit: https://sasn.rutgers.edu/student-support/current-students/pre-professional-programs/pre-engineering.

Curriculum
Students may pursue one of five tracks of study for engineering majors in the Pre-Engineering Transfer Program: biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. All majors take the same program of courses during the first year. Students should consult with the pre-engineering adviser in the Office of Academic Services for additional information.
