Transferring into the program

Approximately 1.5 years of course work or more may be transferred into the Mercer engineering program. A number of two and four-year colleges offer many of the courses required for the first two years at Mercer. Schools with a pre-engineering program provide a lot more courses that will transfer. Students transferring from Civil Engineering programs will not receive credit for courses such as surveying, soils, transportation, structures, etc. since they are not required for Environmental Engineering.

Scholarships are available for students transferring into the Mercer School of Engineering. The Mercer Admissions Office can assist in determining the amount available for each transfer student. Transfer students with especially good grades find that the amount of financial aid is so significant that the tuition is quite manageable.

Credits:	Transferable courses to the EVE program include:
11	Calculus I, Calculus II, and Differential Equations
3	Calculus-based probability and statistics
8	General Physics I and II (must have a prerequisite)
8	General Chemistry I and II (for science and engineering majors)
18	Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Engineering Economics, Circuits I, Freshman Design Course
6	Two english courses or english course, plus public speaking
6	Two low-level humanities or social science (H/SS)
3	One 300/400 level H/SS course
3	One religion course if available (required at Mercer)
3	C or C++ Programming course (preferred)
1	An introduction to college course

The list above totals to 70 credits. The complete program is 129 credits, so potentially two years of course work can be transferred in. In practice, almost no transfer students will have had an opportunity to take all of these courses. Consequently, the typical transfer student to Mercer's EVE program has roughly 1.5 years of credit at the time of transfer.
