External Transfer
Students
Transferring to Michigan State is competitive, but all of our majors accept transfer students each year. Highly qualified students wishing to be an MSU Spartan engineer are encouraged to apply! Most admissions decisions will be made in late January and
February. Therefore, priority is usually given to early applicants. Students interested in transferring to MSU
in an engineering major should call (517) 355-6616 extension
1 to make an appointment with our advisors.
Transfer students must apply via the regular
MSU admissions process. The following requirements must
be fulfilled in order to transfer to MSU in engineering:
- Completion of at least 56 semester
credit hours of the first two years of the engineering transfer
program.
- Completion of at least Calculus I, II, and III, Chemistry,
Engineering Physics I, and Computer Science for admission
consideration. Students with more course work completed
than the minimum are given priority. Exception: Computer
Science majors substitute a Life Science in place of Chemistry.
- A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required for
consideration. (Note: This grade point may be calculated
differently by MSU than at student's former schools and
is based upon a 4.0 grading scale.) International students
must have a 3.50 minimum grade point average.
Students may specify an alternative major
choice; however, admission to a specific major is required
to take upper level courses in the major.
Transfer students with junior standing
who entered majors other than engineering must complete a
minimum of 12 total credits, and a minimum of 10 technical
credits, with the sum of total and technical credits no less
than 24 (e.g. 14 credits with 10 technical, or 12 credits
all technical). These students are then considered for admission
to an engineering major based on MSU grades using the criteria
for internal students.
