NOTES

¹Students intending to transfer to UMASS Amherst are strongly suggested to select a course that meets diversity requirements. See transfer counselor for list.

²Students intending to transfer to UMASS Amherst for Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or Computer Engineering should take one course in Chemistry and one in Biology.  Students intending to transfer for UMASS Amherst for Civil Engineering should take 2 semesters of Chemistry and one of Biology.

³Students intending to transfer to UMASS Amherst should take EGR 109 .  Students intending to transfer to Western New England University for Mechanical, Civil, or Industrial Engineering should take EGR 117 .

⁴Students may select from Chemistry courses: CHM 124 , CHM 221 , CHM 222  (these courses may not count as both a program requirement and program elective).

⁵Students may select from Engineering courses: EGR 110 , EGR 111 , EGR 203 , EGR 222 , EGR 224 , EGR 250 .

⁶Students may select from Mathematics courses: MTH 205 , MTH 214 , MTH 230 .

Students must achieve a minimum grade of “C” in all CHM, EGR, MTH, PHS courses in order to graduate from this program.

All students are encouraged to check with their transfer institution as to what their requirements are for their particular area of interest so they do not have to take more courses than are needed.

We advise that students start their mathematics courses as soon as they enter the program.

This major is intended for students transferring to UMass Amherst. For students transferring to UMass Amherst, the minimum GPA is 2.7.

This program qualifies for MassTransfer, which guarantees credit transfer to Massachusetts state colleges and universities. MassTransfer will also grant students automatic acceptance to certain state colleges and universities by achieving the minimum grade point average and the HCC degree.
