Are engineering programs typically difficult or not so bad to transfer into?

Transfer Students

<p>My son is at Pitt, and I know some students who are transferring/have transferred into engineering. There is only one strictly engineering class and one seminar during freshman year, so you could probably make that up. As I recall, Pitt Engineering has around a 85-90% retention rate. There’s probably around 400 students in the class, so they should have around 40 openings. (I’m speculating, of course.)</p>

<p>Here’s a page on transferring into Pitt engineering:

<p>Here’s the freshman curriculum page:

<p>PS - I think you will find Pitt more interesting than Grove City, but it is urban (although Pitt does let you walk on the grass! ;))</p>
