Undergraduate Program

Transfer Student Programs of Study
For students transferring the summer or fall of 2008

Program A (Strongly Recommended)

1. You must have credit for or take at least 16 hours of General Education courses. All Campus General Education requirements must be satisfied, including those in approved course work in the Humanities/Arts, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Cultural Studies, including the Western, Non-Western and/or U.S. Minorities components. The requirements for the Campus General Education categories Natural Sciences/Technology, Quantitative Reasoning I and II, Composition I, and Advanced Composition are fulfilled through required course work in the curriculum.
2. Three semesters of college credit in one foreign language is required. Three years of high school credit in one foreign language are equivalent to three semesters of college credit and satisfy the requirement.
3. FOR THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CONCENTRATION:
   At least 18 hours must be selected from the departmentally approved List of Approved Chemical Engineering Technical Electives, satisfying these distribution requirements:
   1. 6 hours must be 400-level ChBE courses, with not more than 3 hours being CHBE 497 or 499.
   2. 3 hours any 400-level course from the List
   3. 6 hours any courses from the List.
   4. One course must be IE 300 or STAT 400. If STAT 400 (4 credit hours) is taken instead of IE 300 (3 credit hours), then 1 credit hour of technical elective credit will be given towards the "Any 400-level course" Technical Elective requirement. (b above)
   A maximum of 3 hours from Category A may be undergraduate research credit. A maximum of 9 total hours of undergraduate research may be counted toward Technical Elective credit.
   
   FOR THE BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING CONCENTRATION:
   At least 18 hours must be selected from the departmentally approved List of Approved Biomolecular Engineering Technical Electives Categories A and B, satisfying these distribution requirements:
   1. 9 hours must be from Category A
   2. 6 hours must be from Category B
   3. One course must be IE 300 or STAT 400. If STAT 400 (4 credit hours) is chosen instead of IE 300 (3 credit hours), then 1 credit hour of technical elective credit will be given towards the Category B Biomolecular Technical Electives requirement.
   A maximum of 3 hours from Category A may be undergraduate research credit. A maximum of 9 total hours of undergraduate research may be counted toward Technical Elective credit. The List of Approved Biomolecular Engineering Technical Electives may be obtained in Room 209 RAL or from the department website.
4. Enrollment in CHBE 430 is limited. Thus CHBE 430 may need to be taken in the second semester and CHBE 431 and/or additional electives taken in the first semester instead. Students in their final semester will have priority for getting into CHBE 430 and CHBE 431.
5. The sequence CHBE 430 and CHBE 431 satisfies the General Education Advanced Composition requirement.
