Undergraduate Transfer Students
You must be enrolled at least one full semester as a full-time student with a cumulative GPA of 2.75, and you should complete the same courses either in high school or college as all entering freshmen.
The following is a list of recommended courses for you to take at a 2-year or 4-year college or university that will keep you on track for transfer to Colorado School of Mines. By completing these courses and the transfer requirements listed below, you will be eligible for transfer to Mines.
| Fall Semester I: Trigonometry and/or Pre-calculus Principles of Chemistry I with lab Technical Writing Microeconomics Physical Education |
Spring Semester I: Calculus I for Scientists and Engineers Principles of Chemistry II with lab Environmental Ethics Macroeconomics Physical Education |
| Fall Semester II: Calculus II for Scientists and Engineers Engineering Physics I - calculus-based Programming C++ Contemporary World History Physical Education |
Spring Semester II: Calculus III for Scientists & Engineers Engineering Physics II - calculus-based Physical Geology Environmental Science Physical Education |
Courses with grades of C or better may be eligible for transfer credit. Please keep all course work (syllabus, graded quizzes and exams, homework assignments) from all math and science courses. Prior to awarding transfer credit, department advisers will likely request the materials to review. This is especially the case with calculus, advanced math, chemistry, physics, biology and any other engineering or applied science course work.
