Note(s):

 *Students transferring to UTK & UTC should take ECON 2100  and ECON 2200 . UTM should take ECON 2100 .

**Students transferring to LMU should take a Geology (GEOL) elective and not PHYS 2120 .

***UTK, TSU, UOM, and LMU do not require MATH 2010  but do require 3 hour course in Probability/Statistics.  Students transferring to TTU should take MATH 2010 .

NOTE: Students are strongly encouraged to complete a course in Mechanics of Materials, also known as Strength of Materials, or Solid Mechanics, before transferring to a university.

NOTE: Although it is possible to complete the B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering in four semesters after earning the associates degree, student typically need five or six semesters to complete the requirements.

NOTE: Courses in Engineering Technology do not fulfill any of any the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Civil Engineering.

 Check the website www.tntransferpathway.org to review Civil Engineering notes for required courses based on transfer university.   Students should meet with their assigned advisor to determine courses required for the university chosen.

Students and advisors should run a degree audit using Degree Works in ChargerNet each semester to confirm classes are applicable to the program of study.
