Engineering Science Transfer (EST)

Type: Transfer, Degree (AS)

Special admissions requirement

Division: STEM and Business


The Engineering Science Program provides the first two years of an engineering education leading to a baccalaureate degree. The program combines general education with instruction in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science. This program prepares students for transfer into the junior year of a four-year engineering curriculum. The program's curriculum provides flexibility, enabling a student to specialize in chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial, mechanical, nuclear or plastics engineering.

Students should consult with an advisor from the engineering faculty and the college to which they expect to transfer regarding specific transfer requirements.

Graduates of the Engineering Science Program have transferred into engineering programs at a variety of colleges and universities which include: Boston University, Clarkson University, Cornell University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Franklin Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Merrimack College, Northeastern University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Lowell, Wentworth Institute of Technology and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Students must place into MAT251 Calculus 1 and CMP101 Composition 1 in order to enroll in the Engineering Science Transfer program.  Students not meeting the admissions requirements are encouraged to consider the Pre-engineering Associate of Arts Degree program, which prepares students for the Engineering Science Program. This program requires specific prerequisites outlined in the full program description.
