Tips for Transfer to Engineering

Back to Transfer Students

For students who wish to complete their Engineering program with 4-year, 5-year, or 6-year time-frame, the College of Engineering at CSULB recommends the following "tips for transfer":

  1. Minimize the number of G.E. (General Education) units/courses to only that which is required for CSU Transfer Admissions.
  2. Maximize your transfer units by taking as many lower-division prerequisites for the Major as you can handle.
  3. Participate in the CSU "Cross Enrollment" program. Hard copy of Cross Enrollment; forms can be picked up at the Admissions office of the City College you are attending. (Please note that some city colleges do not participate in "Cross Enrollment" program. Students should contact CSULB Enrollment Services at: 562-985-5471 for latest policy).
  4. ontact the College of Engineering Recruitment & Retention Center for assistance with your Transfer plan.
  5. Contact your Major Advisor for evaluation of non-articulated major courses.
  6. We do not recommend full G.E. certification.
