Transfer into Chemical Engineering

Choosing a major is an big decision. Our goal is to make the process of changing majors and schools easier. Through our summer sequence of CME 200 (Process Principles) and CME 320 (Thermodynamics), you will be able to complete your degree in as little as 2 years. Prerequisites for transferring in are:

  • Calc I-IV
  • Gen Chem sequence
  • Physics I&II
  • Organic I&II
  • UK Core (Gen Ed. Requirements)
