Pre - Engineering Curriculum

Students who plan to transfer to an engineering school can begin their studies by following the pre-engineering curriculum, which covers foundational coursework. The recommended curriculum may require adjustment, as requirements vary across institutions and engineering disciplines. Pre-engineering students are responsible for understanding the specific prerequisites of their intended transfer program. Students can typically complete the pre-engineering curriculum in two to three years, depending on pre-college preparation. Well-prepared students are encouraged to consider the dual-degree program outlined under the Applied Physics major. For those transferring to the University of Kentucky, completing the full UC general education curriculum qualifies students as UK Gen Ed Certified, allowing their credits to transfer as a block rather than being evaluated individually. Students intending to transfer without completing all of UC’s general education courses should consult the recommended options listed below.
