How to Apply
Admissions Requirements
Policy on Transfer to NC State University College of Engineering
Ideally, students working toward an engineering degree should transfer when they have completed approximately the first half of the curriculum. However, a student is eligible to transfer at any time after the CODA requirements, listed below, are satisfied. Transfer admission standards vary with each degree program according to the space available and the number of applicants, but a minimum grade point average of 3.0 is required to ensure consideration for admission. Many departments require a GPA significantly higher than 3.0.
In order to transfer into an engineering curriculum at NC State University, students must have completed at least 30 credits, including the CODA requirements, all with a grade of C or better:
- Chemistry with Lab - 1 semester
- Calculus - 2 semesters
- Calculus-based Physics with Lab - 1 semester
- English Composition - 1 semester (4 cr)
In addition to the requirements on the cumulative GPA, the GPA between the last two math classes at the calculus I level or higher must be at least 2.5. If NC State University courses are taken, the overall NC State University GPA must be at least 2.0.
Cooperative Education
NC State University's College of Engineering has an active co-op program, making it possible for 2+2 students to alternate on-the-job experience with classroom learning and graduate with a co-op certificate after 12 months of work in a structured situation. Students are not eligible for the co-op program until they are admissible to one of NC State University's engineering degree programs.
Courses at Other Institutions
Many courses at other institutions are equivalent to those in the engineering curricula of NC State, but students are advised to contact the engineering advisor BEFORE enrolling at another institution to determine transferability of specific courses.
