Transfer Program: This pre-engineering pathway is based upon a mathematics and science core that provides the nucleus for engineering education. Successful completion of this degree allows seamless transfer to engineering programs at University of Connecticut, Central Connecticut State University, University of Bridgeport, University of Hartford, University of New Haven, and the Applied Physics program at Southern Connecticut State University. Students planning to transfer to Fairfield University should choose Engineering Transfer Option: Engineering Science Pathway Program (Fairfield University) (EB16pfu).

Each institution has a minimum GPA requirement for transfer eligibility. For continuation in the engineering program at University of Connecticut, the student must maintain a B or better average with no grade less than a C. 

Students in this program may choose the Engineering Transfer Option: Engineering Science Pathway Program (Fairfield University) (EB16pfu)*  

Outcomes:

• Understand the basic principles of the physical sciences.
• Perform a scientific experiment and interpret results.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the major concepts of differential and integral calculus.
• Have the ability to write and document a computer program.
• Complete the general education courses in satisfaction of the associate degree requirements.

NOTE: For students interested in Chemical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, additional technical coursework is needed prior to the junior year in the Uconn curriculum. This coursework may be completed at one of the regional UCONN campuses while progressing through the Pathway Program or may be obtained through the use of the electives prescribed in the core listed above.
