Appropriate course selection is critical to presenting a strong transfer application. Admission to the College of Engineering is contingent upon enrollment in an appropriate engineering curriculum during your first two semesters at Notre Dame.

If you are applying for admission as a sophomore in an Engineering curriculum, you should typically have completed Notre Dame’s First Year program which includes:

  • Calculus for science and engineering (Two courses: 8 semester hours total)
  • General Chemistry with Laboratory (Two lecture courses + one lab: 7 semester hours)
  • General Physics I with Laboratory (“calculus-based”) (4 semester hours). A “calculus-based” physics course is one which requires calculus as a prerequisite or a co-requisite course.
  • English Composition (3 semester hours)
  • History or Behavioral/Social Science (3 semester hours)
  • Computer Programming and/or Engineering Problem Solving (3 semester hours)
  • Introduction to Engineering (3 semester hours)

If you are applying for admission as a junior in an Engineering program, you should have completed additional courses in mathematics, physics, philosophy, theology and the engineering science courses appropriate for the intended engineering program. We suggest that you review the Engineering Web site for specific program requirements: www.nd.edu/~engineer

If you have a strong academic record, but have not fulfilled all of the course requirements indicated, you may be offered admission with the stipulation that it will take extra semesters or summer courses to complete remaining degree requirements. The College of Engineering does not have a foreign-language requirement.

To evaluate your credits during the application process, especially math, science and engineering credits, the Committee requires a copy of the syllabus and a course description for each course on the final transcript.
