Path to CECAS: Transfer and Dual Education
The College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences (CECAS) enrolls over 400 Transfer Students each year. These students come from two and four-year institutions across the state of South Carolina and across the country. If you plan to transfer into CECAS from your institution, you are highly encouraged to contact the Clemson University Admissions Office.
The Transfer Course Equivalency List (TCEL) can aid you in determining which classes will transfer to Clemson. This listing is NOT all-inclusive but has equivalencies of courses that have been evaluated in the past. Matching the equivalent courses to the specific major you intend to pursue will help you determine how long you should remain at your current school, as well as what courses you would enroll in during your first semester at Clemson.
The Tuition and Fee Calculator can help estimate the cost of attending Clemson University per semester based on degree, housing, and dining options. The calculator is broken up into five categories, including Undergraduate, Online, and Study Abroad.

Transfer Requirements by Major
If you haven’t already, you can read about the requirements and how the application process works on Clemson’s Transfer Admissions page. A transfer student going into an engineering major needs 30 hours worth of transferrable college credit and a minimum GPA of 2.7 to be considered for admission. If accepted, they are then admitted to General Engineering (GE). All first-year students and transfer students begin in General Engineering and move into their specified major once the GE departmental standards are completed. Students transferring into Clemson interested in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems or Geology can be admitted directly into that department and major.
Dual Education
Clemson's Engineering Education Partnership Program
Clemson University offers Dual-Education degrees in cooperation with several liberal arts schools in and around South Carolina. These programs allow students to begin their academic career by pursuing a Bachelor’s degree at a partner institution while preparing for an Engineering degree from Clemson University. Typically, after three years at the first school, students are able to transfer to Clemson.
Explore Programs
The College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences offers undergraduate programs that prove to be challenging and rewarding. Although all engineering students begin in the General Engineering program before determining a specialty, those in Geology or Computing can start in their intended major.
Want to enhance your degree? Students can choose from over 90 minors, ranging from food science to French.
