Engineering Transfer - Chemistry

Dear Counselors,

In the new online catalog, a few of the engineering programs show CHEM135 as the preferred CHEM course for their program. Please explore transfer institutions with your student before advising them to take CHEM135. This course is UMCP exclusive and not accepted at other Universities. If they are considering UMBC or other transfer institutions recommend the CHEM131/132 option.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

This is an example of the notes section for the Electrical Engineering Degree. I put the note in bold and bigger print.

·         The appropriate initial chemistry courses will be determined by the student’s score on the Chemistry Placement Exam, mathematics level, AP/IB credits, or transfer credits. Possible courses include CHEM 099, CHEM 131, CHEM 132, orCHEM 135. Either CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMCP. CHEM 131-CHEM 132 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMBC, but CHEM 135 does not.

Thank you,

Marcella
