<p>I plan to transfer from the engineering program to the business program or transfer to business program in other universities. Any one know the chance of the internal transfer? I think it couldn't be lower than the chance of transferring to decent business programs in other universities.</p>
<p>Going from engineering to business will probably be easy at UIUC (or any school for that matter), but the other way around won’t be so easy.</p>
<p>Actually, it is not that easy at UIUC to transfer into business from any other college at the university. You have only one time you can attempt to transfer, at end of freshman year into sophomore year. You need to complete required level of math needed for business (which you will do if in engineering) and first two courses in Econ. You apply in May at end of freshman year and decisions are made in June after first year grades are out. No stated minimum freshman GPA but should assume you will need at least a 3.4 and having a 4.0 does not guarantee transfer as full file review is done, and essays are very important. Generally, only about 40% of those who request transfer actually get it.</p>
