Core reqs? and possibly transfer...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

<p>I'm a freshman at Loyola Maryland. I am currently taking these classes (engineering major)</p>

<p>Fall Semester (now) 18 Credits
-Engineering & Society: Engineering, Design, and Creative Problem Solving in the Built World
-Calculus 2
-Western Civilization
-Microeconomics
-Physics
-Physics Lab</p>

<p>I'm working really hard to at least get the 3.5 gpa this first semester. Now which classes would you say are classes I should be taking if I am trying to transfer into UMD.</p>

<p>Since calc 3 and chemistry are not offered second semester at loyola these are my classes so far that I want to take at least. Which classes will I be required to take at UMD. I'm going for a major in Electrical Engineering and minor in Mathematics, and possibly a minor in business.</p>

<p>Spring Semester
-Differential equations
-WR 100 Effective Writing
-Physics 2
-Physics 2 Lab
-(Possibly will be taking a 200 level Spanish class)
-(Possibly Microeconomics)
-(possibly linear algebra)</p>

<p>I don’t know much, although reqs are on the umd site… you should search it up.
However, I do know that there is no minor in business at UMCP.</p>

<p>Go to umd’s website and do a search for college courses that transfer to UMD. You can input a specific school and see which ones transfer for CORE credits. Whether or not they transfer for your major is sometimes a different story. Sorry, I don’t know the link.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in taking Spanish, I would recommend that you take it next semester at your current school. D2 started out at UMD needing to waitlist for every Spanish class she got, and she’s a Spanish major. She’s been able to get in to the classes she wanted, but sometimes it wasn’t until the 2nd week of classes or so. Maybe it was because she was registering for 300 level classes from the beginning, but</p>

<p>Thank you for the link. So you really cant get a minor in Business at UMD? Does anyone here know if you can take classes at community college during the summer to transfer to UMD? (anytime during your time at UMD?)</p>

<p>Yes, you can, although after the first couple of years, you’ll probably exhaust your options as you’ll meet the Core requirements, and CCs tend to run out of upper level courses.</p>
