-
Algebra I, algebra II,
and geometry or a higher level math for which algebra II is a
prerequisite*
-
Social studies: two
courses, one of which must be U.S. History
-
Science: three courses
(a physical science, biological science, and a laboratory course)
-
Foreign language: two
units of the same foreign language
* Engineering majors
must present a fourth year of advanced high school math, for example
trigonometry, algebra III, statistics, pre-calculus, or calculus. All
math grades for engineering majors must be a “C” or higher.
Admission decisions are based on high school performance:
- Academic courses
taken in grades 9 -
11.
- Grade
point average on a 4.0 scale.
- Senior
year course selection. In addition to English, math, science, and
foreign language should be taken in the senior year with a solid
schedule of academic courses in the spring semester.
- Engineering majors must have a math
SAT score of at least 480 to be admitted to the college. The average
math SAT for freshman admitted to an engineering major in Fall 2005 was
602.
SAT or ACT Test Scores:
- Take
the test prior to and during the fall of your senior year.
- Highest
score made from each individual section are used in admission decisions.
- Send results to
UNC Charlotte College.
SAT code - 5105; ACT code – 3163.
AP
and IB Courses:
AP
and IB courses can be used as college credit hours.
They do not impact your GPA, as there are no grades
associated with them, but they do count as hours earned.
If they are equivalent to a courses needed for your
degree, they can apply to your degree. Some courses
may be equivalent to courses at the University, but
not specifically applicable to your degree. A complete
listing of current AP credits can be viewed at

IB course credits can be found at

Students who are not initially admitted to the
College of Engineering, but who are interested in obtaining an engineering or
engineering technology degree, still have the opportunity. In some cases,
students may be able to transfer into the college prior to their first semester,
assuming they meet eligibility requirements. Contact a College of Engineering
freshman advisor or let your advisor know during SOAR.
Students who are denied admission to
engineering or freshman engineering may follow the freshman year curriculum and
still enroll in College of Engineering courses. Upon successful completion of
all first-year courses with a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.5, students can complete a
Change of Major form and formally transfer into their desired major.
