LSA = the college of Literature, Science, and Arts. It is the most popular undergraduate college and covers things from english, to pre-business, to pre-med, to pre-law, to anthropology, to spanish, etc. Try looking under the undergraduate degree programs page.

Chan, many of your pre-requisite courses for Engineering will be taken in LSA. So you will have to at least know a little about it.

calculus ii (lsa)=worst course ever-material isn't hard but ta's are bad teachers and should not be allowed to be primary instructors (calc iii is taught by the professor and is actually pretty good)

If you have good grades, the transfer should not be that difficult. But if your GPA is under 3.5, it may be difficult. You should start by taking several Engineering prerequisits (Calculus II, III, DFQs, LA, Physics, Chemistry etc...) in the college of LSA. After your first year, if your grades hold up, you can apply to the college of Engineering.

You will definitely be given priority. Do well at Michigan and you can pretty much transfer into any college within the university.
