Internal Transfer (school to school transfer within Rutgers)
 Students must have completed a minimum of 15 credits at Rutgers University.
 Students should have completed the equivalent of at least Calculus I & II (01:640:151,152), Physics I (01:750:123124, or 201, or 203), and Chemistry I & II (01:160:159, 160, 171 or 161,162)
 Students taking the above requirements at Rutgers-New Brunswick must have earned a cumulative and term GPA
of 2.5 (with no "Ds" or "Fs") when the application is submitted. Students taking the above pre-requisites at RutgersNewark or Camden must have earned a cumulative and term GPA of 3.0 (with no "Ds" or "Fs").
 Rutgers Newark and Camden transfers and 2+2 students, please refer to these documents for equivalencies:
Camden - College of Arts and Sciences (http://soe.rutgers.edu/files/CCAS-SOE 2+2 curriculum.pdf)
Newark - College of Arts and Sciences (http://soe.rutgers.edu/files/NCAS-SOE 2+2-curriculum.pdf)
 Students interested in applying for admission to the School of Engineering must submit the school-to-school online
application no later than December 1st for the Spring semester, and June 1st for the Fall semester. Follow
guidelines for the college you wish to transfer to (http://admissions.rutgers.edu/SchoolToSchool).
 For more detailed info, see SOE transfer website (http://soe.rutgers.edu/oaa/transfer_schooltoschool).
External Transfer (transfer from other institutions including international transfer)
Students can take the following steps to earn admission to the School of Engineering (SOE) at Rutgers as a transfer
student when coming from a 2 or 4 year institution (see http://soe.rutgers.edu/oaa/transfer_external for more details):
 Course Requirements: Ensure that you have completed the appropriate courses by the time you intend to begin
your study at Rutgers. For admission, we look for the equivalent of our first year curriculum: 2 semesters of
calculus, 1 semester of calculus based physics, Matlab computer programming, 1-2 semesters of chemistry - with
a GPA of 3.0+ (out of 4.0). Some other relevant courses to take are: engineering mechanics-statics, macro/micro
economics, English Composition. (Note: Matlab is the standard first-year programming language taught at Rutgers
Engineering and is used in several of the engineering majors in later courses. If you have a programming course
in another language like C++ or Java, we may give you transfer credits for our course, but please be advised that
you may need to use Matlab in the future. You can opt to take our Matlab course (14:440:127) to avoid any
academic complications later.)
 Course Credits Transfer: Credit evaluations are completed after transfer students have been admitted. Credits
are granted for courses taken at accredited colleges and universities or reputable international institutions if they
are equivalent to courses offered by Rutgers with a earned grade of at least a “C”. There is no limit on the number
of courses/credits that we accept, but students have to complete a minimum of 30 engineering credits from
Rutgers in order to be granted a degree. Rutgers engineering programs share a strong emphasis on math and
science courses including calculus, calculus-based physics, chemistry, and other science courses, especially in the
first two years of the curriculum. You may find it helpful to review course descriptions in our catalogs
(http://catalogs.rutgers.edu/generated/nb-ug_current). Students transferring from New Jersey community colleges
can check course equivalencies on the NJ-Transfer website (https://www.njtransfer.org/artweb/chgri.cgi).
 International Transfer: Rutgers is one of the most culturally diverse program in the US and is located in an area
that is home to a wide variety of cultures. We welcome applications from academically qualified international
students. See http://admissions.rutgers.edu/ApplyNow/MoreForInternationalApplicants.aspx for the admission
process and http://admissions.rutgers.edu/applynow/morefortransferapplicants/RequiredCredentials.aspx for the
required credentials including TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, etc.

Summer Engineering Courses at Rutgers
In addition to calculus, physics, and chemistry, we offer many 1st and 2nd year engineering courses during the
Rutgers Summer Session and at Rutgers during the academic year that your school may not offer. Some examples
are (F-Fall, S-Spring, Su-Summer): 125:201(F), 125:208(F/S), 14:155:201 (F/Su), 14:155:208 (S/Su), 14:180:216
(S/Su), 14:180:243 (F/S/Su), 14:332:222/224 (S/Su), 14:332:231/233 (F/Su), 14:332:252/254 (S/Su), 14:440:127
(F/S/Su), 14:440:221 (F/S/Su), 14:440:222 (F/S/Su), 14:650:231 (F/S/Su), and 14:650:291 (F/S/Su). See
