Students who complete the Engineering program should note that the general education (GE) requirements for this program will NOT result in GE core completion with regard to transfer. However, the program was specifically created to help make transferring into a four-year Engineering program easier and will result in students being better prepared to transfer at a junior class level.

Additional Advising Notes:
- Students who complete the Engineering program should note that the general education (GE) requirements for this program will NOT result in GE core completion with regard to transfer. However, the program was specifically created to help make transferring into a four-year Engineering program easier and will result in students being better prepared to transfer at a junior class level.
- Students who plan to transfer should select elective courses based on the needs of their transfer institution. See 2+2 agreements with the appropriate institution for more information.
- Please be sure to check the courses required for your final degree at the four-year institution you plan to attend after finishing at CWI. It is absolutely imperative that you know which classes are required to obtain a bachelor's degree at that institution.
- It is possible to get prior learning assessment (PLA) credit for ENGL 101 if the student successfully passes ENGL 102. Visit the CWI Prior Learning Assessment webpage for more information.
