graduate course as undergrad - engineering

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

Hello all,

I am writing this post to wonder how much more difficult graduate school engineering is than undergraduate engineering.

I am currently a senior in engineering at Rutgers and had to withdraw from a course that I was not doing well in. Overall, my grades are usually above good, not great (mostly As and Bs, and some Cs). However, since I am graduating in May, the school is letting me take a graduate class next semester as a replacement for the course I dropped. If anyone has any opinions on the difference in level of difficulty between a graduate class and an undergraduate course let me know. Either way, I will probably have to take the graduate course as I have no other alternatives.

Thanks in advace

OK, this is my experience from nearly 30 years ago at Rutgers. I didn’t find the grad courses in Industrial Engineering to be any harder than the UG courses. HOWEVER, you want to avoid Cs in grad school; grade of C in grad school was viewed similarly to a D/F in UG.

Thanks, I hope you are right.
