Undergraduate Admissions

  • College of Engineering

    The Florida A&M University (FAMU)-Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering is home to students from both universities who are seeking their undergraduate degree in one of our six Baccalaureate programs. There are no additional admission requirements to be accepted into the College of Engineering than the general admission requirements set by the individual universities. Students who accept admissions into either FAMU or FSU will be coded as a pre-engineering student until they meet the course requirements to move into their selected program of study. Please click on the University of your choice for information on their admission requirements.

    In addition to the requirements set forth by each university, students wishing to transfer into the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering must meet the following criteria:

    • Must earn a grade of "C" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre-Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I*, General Chemistry I, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. One repeated attempt out of all pre-engineering courses is permitted. (* students who wish to major in Chemical or Biomedical Engineering shall replace Physics I with General Chemistry II for their Pre-Engineering sequence).

    • Transfer students who will earn an AA prior to enrollment at the College must have completed at least Calculus I and at least one other pre-engineering course (excluding Pre-Engineering Lab). We prefer that AA transfer students have the majority of the pre-engineering courses completed before arriving.
