General Admission Criteria to CCSU Mechanical Engineering Program

First-year Students

It is expected that all entering first-year students will be able to begin the designed curriculum without prerequisite or remedial coursework (in English and Math). Specifically, according to current University policies, for English, SAT verbal scores of 450 and above (or 21 on ACT) or an appropriate score on placement examination, enables ENG 110 enrollment. For Math, SAT math scores of 600 and above with pre-calculus or calculus in high school with a grade of B or better, enables enrollment in MATH 152 (Calculus I). Alternatively, the Math Placement Exam may be taken to exhibit proficiency for MATH 152 enrollment. Students entering the University having such preparedness, i.e., able to enroll in ENG 110 and MATH 152, may be fully admitted to the Mechanical Engineering Program.

Community College Transfer Students

Students graduating from the College of Technology Pathway Engineering Science Curriculum may be fully admitted to the Mechanical Engineering Program.

Internal CCSU (or CSU) Transfer Students

Transfers within CCSU (or CSU) into the Mechanical Engineering Program can be made provided the student has the English and Math background to take required program courses verified through placements described above, transfer of English and Math program courses, or through completion of prerequisite courses (ENG 099; MATH 121 and MATH 115, or MATH 119). Equivalent CSU courses are acceptable.
