Bachelor of Science degrees in:

• Aerospace Engineering
• Architectural Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical Engineering (including a Computer Engineering curriculum)
• Geosystems Engineering & Hydrogeology (offered jointly with the School of Geosciences)
• Mechanical Engineering
• Petroleum Engineering

Students must complete at least sixty semester credit hours in residence at UT Austin to earn an undergraduate degree in the School of Engineering.

The Office of Admissions evaluates courses from other institutions for comparability with UT Austin coursework, but only the student's major department in the School of Engineering has authority to approve transfer credit for use in a degree program.

• Questions concerning degree/graduation requirements and degree applicability of transfer credit should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs, Cockrell School of Engineering, ECJ 2.200, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (phone 512/471-4321).

• Questions concerning transfer admission and transfer credit evaluation should be directed to the Office of Admissions, MAI 7, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (phone 512/475-7399).

Prospective Engineering transfer students are urged to become familiar with the School's curricula and rules in the Undergraduate Catalog 2006-2008.

Students who transfer directly from a Texas community college may choose to graduate under UT Austin catalog rules in effect during the time they attended the community college. Students declaring the Undergraduate Catalog 2006-2008 must complete all degree requirements by the end of the summer session 2014.

• Due to enrollment limitations, admission to the School of Engineering is competitive; acceptance depends upon available space and the applicant's qualifications compared to the entire applicant pool.

• Transfer applicants must have completed two semesters of calculus (MATH 2313, 2413, or 2513 and MATH 2314 or 2414) or one semester of accelerated calculus (MATH 2417). Admission preference is given to those with a completed calculus sequence (through MATH 2316, 2415, or 2419) and at least one semester of calculus-based physics (PHYS 2325 or 2425).

• Core curriculum transfer credit from Texas community colleges is guaranteed to apply toward UT Basic Education requirements, but not all core courses are suitable for a particular major field of study. Recommendations in this Guide satisfy core requirements with coursework needed for the major, enabling students to complete lower-division degree requirements with minimal credit.

• Grades from transfer credit are not combined with grades earned at UT Austin to determine the student's internal University grade point average. Transfer credit is not granted for courses in which grades of D or F are earned.

• Physical education activity credit cannot be applied toward any degree requirement in the School of Engineering, but grades and credit in such courses count toward transfer admission.

• At the discretion of the Office of Student Affairs, a maximum of six semester hours in Air Force, Military, or Naval Science may be applied toward a degree in the School of Engineering by students commissioned through the UT Austin ROTC program. Approved credit may substitute for 3 semester hours of American government and 3 semester hours of elective coursework.

The School of Engineering requires all students to have completed two years of high school level or one year of college level study in a single foreign language. Transfer students who do not meet this requirement are assessed a deficiency; removal of deficiencies is required for graduation.

Prospective students should complete coursework needed to satisfy a high school foreign language deficiency prior to transfer. Credit used to remove a deficiency cannot be used to satisfy any other degree or graduation requirement.

• ENGL 1301; and
• one literature survey course chosen from ENGL 2321, 2322, 2323, 2326, 2327, 2328, 2331, 2332, or 2333.

6 semester hours chosen from one of the following combinations:

GOVT 2301 & 2302; or
GOVT 2305 & 2306; or
GOVT 2301 & 2305; or
GOVT 2301 & 2306.

(Because community colleges organize the two-semester legislative requirement sequence differently, it is strongly recommended that students take both courses at one institution.)

A calculus sequence chosen from:

MATH 2413, 2414, & 2415 (differential, integral, & multivariable); or
MATH 2417 & 2419 (Accelerated Calculus I & II).

A differential equations course:

MATH 2320 or 2420 (3- or 4-hour version).

(Credit values in MATH 2413, 2414, & 2415 vary among community colleges; the 2nd digit of course numbers may be 3, 4, or 5, but course content is comparable. At some community colleges the calculus sequence extends into a 4th course, MATH 2316, which must be taken to complete multivariable calculus.)

For all degrees:

PHYS 2425 & 2426.

Additionally, for the BS in Aerospace Engineering:
