<p>Is it okay if I take all the math and science pre-reqs at a community college. That would be: Calc I, II, III; Phys I, II; Chem I, II; Orgo I, II</p>
<p>This would be for a chemical or biomedical engineering student looking at graduate school. Would they care if the pre-reqs were done at CC? So far I have a B+ in Calc I, an A- in Phys I, and an A in Chem I. I plan on getting As in all the other courses. </p>
<p>Let me know.</p>
<p>I would make sure there is an articulation agreement between your community college and the college you want to transfer to to complete your undergraduate engineering degree. Not all community college calc courses are the same. I know that RPI, for example, is quite particular about which math courses are taken and which math professors handle the instruction. May be different where you are but worth checking into. Local knowledge will better answer your question than anecdotal opinions from the internet.</p>
<p>I know. But I’m not asking about pre-reqs for the purpose of getting my undergraduate. I asked whether graduate engineering schools would not like math and science pre-reqs being done entirely at a CC. </p>
<p>This section we are in is about graduate school.</p>
<p>I think you are fine as long as you aren’t purposely avoiding courses… I mean, if you start at the community college and take two years of courses and then move to another college/university to complete your degree you are fine. However, if you are attending a university and then take the classes at the county college at the same time to avoid difficult professors, this would be frowned upon.</p>
<p>I think the missing part of this equation is whether OP is currently an UG or if they are taking the courses post-bac because they already earned a non-STEM degree and want to go back to school for something different.</p>
<p>I don’t feel like trolling his past points to find out.</p>
<p>XaviFM, </p>
<p>Ok, I am an undergraduate in a community college engineering program that has an articulation/admissions agreement with a university engineering program. </p>
<p>But I think I might want to do biomedical engineering, which is a career that requires graduate school. </p>
<p>I wanna know what engineering graduate schools think when they see a graduate applicant with their freshman and sophomore courses all done at a CC. Would they think that that applicant has had a less rigorous program? </p>
<p>Maybe if I completed some advanced courses in applied math and physics and earned a minor it would assure graduate schools that I have had enough rigor. </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
