General Courses for Dual-Education Programs

Clemson's Engineering Education Partnership Program

The courses indicated in the table consist of a general index of courses that students may transfer to Clemson University under dual-education agreements.

  • Degree requirements vary by intended major, and the classes listed may not apply to all programs.
  • Refer to the specific engineering curriculum and any notes listed below the course of study in Clemson’s Undergraduate Catalog.
  • Substitution of the required course may be possible if the department deems it applicable and is approved via Clemson’s approval process.

To ensure timely progress toward graduation and to view the curricular requirements of each engineering degree program, please refer to the current version of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Engineering-Specific Courses to Take

To maintain timely progress toward graduation and enter your chosen engineering major at a more senior level, we recommend completing these fundamental courses before enrolling full-time at Clemson.

  • Courses may be offered during summer at Clemson - Check the schedule online.
  • Some departments offer courses on a fall/spring sequence or one time per year - Time transfer to Clemson carefully.

Your dual-education advisors at both your home institution and Clemson can assist in planning.
