The College of Engineering has several specific requirements for admission.
Students with 15 or more hours must meet the following GPA criteria:
 3.25 in all college level work attempted
 3.0 in all college level “Calculus-based” Math courses attempted
 3.0 in all Gen. Chemistry, Biology, Geology, & “Calculus-based” Physics courses attempted
 3.0 in all Engineering courses attempted
 2.5 in all college level English courses attempted
All students must have credit for (can include AP credit):
 Calculus I & II; General Chemistry I; “Calculus-based”
Physics I
• International students must also meet English Language Proficiency Requirements by meeting one of the following test score requirements TOEFL(PBT)of 550,
TOEFL(iBT) of 79, or IELTS Overall of 6.5. International transfer students may be exempt from submitting a TOEFL or IELTS score by completing 30 or more
semester credit hours from a U.S. accredited institution of higher education, including coursework equivalent to UH English Composition ENGL 1303 and ENGL 1304
with a grade of “C” or better and/or the completion of an AA or AS degree from an accredited institution of higher education.
# UH is partnered with the Houston Community College System, San Jacinto College District, and Lone Star College System. Students at these institutions can
complete this requirement with the English course ENGL 2311 (TCCNS). All other transferring students must take the engineering course ENGI 2304 at UH.
* Mechanical majors should take a semester long computer-based drafting course. This requirement is waived for students who completed one year of mechanical
drawing or general drafting in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade.
^ University Physics lecture and laboratory may be taken as a unit or as separate courses.
^^ Electrical, Computer & Chemical Engineering majors must take ECON 2302; this course also counts for your Social/Behavioral core requirement.
• Full time students should contact an advisor in Engineering after Calculus II is completed because of the need to begin specific course sequences in the major.
A maximum of 66 hours (grades C- or better) of 1000/2000 level transfer hours may be applied toward a UH degree.
TEXAS UNDERGRADUATE IN-STATE TUITION ENROLLMENT CAP
Students enrolling at a Texas public university or community college for the first time will be affected by the enrollment cap. There is now a limit on the number of
hours those students may attempt while paying in-state tuition. For details, please see the following website: http://www.uh.edu/provost/stu/stu_enrollcapqs.html
