Rutgers School of Engineering accepts qualified transfer students from community colleges and other universities, both nationally and internationally. The first step is simply to apply.

All transfer applications should be submitted through the Rutgers Application. All applications are processed and reviewed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Our School of Engineering transfer staff is available to answer questions and help you navigate the transition.

In general, credit is given for courses taken at accredited colleges and universities that are the equivalent of courses offered by Rutgers, provided a grade of at least a C has been earned. Students must complete at least 24 college-level academic credits by the expected semester of entry and earn at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA, among other requirements.
