<p>For anyone who is in Arts and Sciences but interested in transferring over to engineering- you WILL be taking the same classes as engineering students in Swanson. The only difference is that you will be an Arts and Sciences student among Swanson students who are already admitted. And before you can even be considered for admission in Swanson, you MUST complete the freshman engineering requirements. Here’s a list:
[Freshman</a> Engineering Integrated Curriculum](<a href=“http://webster.engr.pitt.edu/freshman/academic/ic.html#FreshmanCurriculum]Freshman”>http://webster.engr.pitt.edu/freshman/academic/ic.html#FreshmanCurriculum)</p>
<p>The only disadvantage to this track is that you aren’t guaranteed admission into Swason, even if you have completed everything they ask for. The requirements are designed to be a challenge, so it’s important you do extremely well in the classes during your first year. If you come out of your freshman year with a strong GPA, you will definitely have a great advantage. </p>
<p>Basically, you aren’t going to be put in watered-down versions of the classes. You’ll be taking the exact same courses that Swanson students are taking, without having the “Swanson student” title just yet.</p>
