Environmental Engineering Transfer Pathway
Taking the following courses will meet all of the transfer admission course requirements for the participating majors listed below.
Course expectations
- Calculus-based physics (full sequences with lab)
- Single variable calculus (full sequence)
- Multivariable calculus (one semester course)
- Linear algebra (one course)
- Differential equations (one course)
- General chemistry (full sequence with lab)
- Organic chemistry (full sequence with lab)
- Programming (one course)
- Statics (one course)
- Biology (one course with lab)
Full sequences can take two to four terms to complete (depending on whether your institution is on semesters or quarters), so you'll want to start them early. Use ASSIST to find the specific classes offered at your community college that will satisfy the expected coursework at a particular UC campus. In addition to the coursework above, you will need to fulfill minimum requirements expected of all transfer applicants to UC.
Applicable majors
The Environmental Engineering Pathway applies to the degree programs listed below. More degree programs may be added in the future so you should check back periodically to see if your major has joined this list.
- Environmental engineering science, B.S. at Berkeley
- Environmental engineering, B.S. at Davis
- Environmental engineering, B.S. at Irvine
- Environmental engineering, B.S. at Merced
- Environmental engineering, B.S. at Riverside
Campus GPA requirements
Admission to different UC campuses and majors varies in competitiveness depending on how many students apply and how many slots are available. As a result, the minimum GPA and grade requirements for particular courses may vary from campus to campus. Make sure to look on the campus admissions websites to find minimum expected grade point averages for the major you are interested in.
