Transferring Community College Engineering Courses to TTU

I'm currently taking engineering courses at a community college and I'm planning to transfer to Texas Tech University. Does anyone know how well these credits transfer and if there are any specific requirements I should be aware of?

Sure, the general policy for transferring credits to Texas Tech University (TTU) is that coursework from regionally accredited community colleges is commonly accepted, but the applicability of transferred credits towards your intended degree at TTU can vary and are subject to approval by the academic department. It is important to know that not all credits may count towards the major you plan to study.

To get a general idea of how your credits could transfer, you can refer to TTU's Transfer Equivalency Database, available on their website. This can provide you an outline of how the courses you have taken align with TTU courses. However, this tool is an unofficial guide and should not be used as a confirmation of how your specific credits will transfer.

Then, for engineering specifically, the Whitacre College of Engineering does have some prerequisites like calculus, chemistry, and physics, amongst others. It's also worth noting that you might need to have specific grades in these subjects for them to be transferable, often a "C" or better is required.

However, your best course of action would be to reach out to TTU's Transfer Relations directly. They can provide you with accurate, up-to-date, and personalized information. Also, speak with your academic advisor at your current community college. They can often provide helpful insights into the transfer process.

Lastly, remember to apply for admission as a transfer student before the application deadline. Review the transfer application checklist on the TTU admissions website to make sure you have everything you need to submit a complete application.

In summary, while there's a good chance your credits will transfer, the specifics will depend on a variety of factors, and it's best to reach out to both your current institution and TTU for the most accurate information.
