Pre-Engineering

The Computer and Mathematical Sciences Department offers advising to students who plan to transfer to an engineering program after one or two years of study at Columbia College. Typically, pre-engineering students should enroll in mathematics, science, and computer science courses appropriate to their chosen area of engineering, and liberal arts courses that will meet general education requirements at the transfer institution. Additionally, students should consider taking introductory engineering courses through the cooperative cross-enrollment program with the University of Missouri in order to minimize time to graduation.
