Should I be concern? CC lacks recommended coursework.

<p>I'm a Aerospace Engineer major hopeful...</p>

<p>I was looking over the classes that are offered at Midland College only to notice that there's a few classes recommended to Texas's community college students that my community college doesn't offer (I'm using UT Austin transfer guide for Cockrell).</p>

<p>In the Cockrell's guide, it recommends I take Math 2413 (Calculus), 2414 (Calculus II), and 2415 (Calculus III). It doesn't offer the last one at my community college (unfortunately), but I can always take when if I transfer to UT Austin (along with Calculus IV).</p>

<p>But what also concerns me is that Midland College offers only one engineer class the meets the recommended standards (ENGR 2302). ENGR 2301 and ENGR 2332 are unavailable and I don't know if I can take those classes at UT Austin if I transfer of if I'm forced to transfer to another college just to get this done. Since the guide said I only have until summer of 2018 to complete my Bachelors degree, I don't have time to transfer to meet these course requirements.</p>

<p>Is this something I should be concern about? Seeing the lack of engineer courses outside of ENGR 2302 and introductory engineer really worries me, especially since I'm having to learn math from the ground up (which makes me especially supernervous about me being able to meet the deadline).</p>

<p>Side notes: What kind of math skills levels are recommended for College Physics I and II? I know that University Physics I and II requires calculus-based physics. If they're what I'm thinking (precalculus at the least), then this is going to suck (unless of course I only have to take University Physics I and II) since that may mean I have to change to a political science major and since Midland College only offers GOVT 2301, 2302, and 2304, that means I can't transfer to UCLA (because they require at least four political science courses, UCLA is one of those out-of-state options I want to entertain and is the closest thing I could possibly get to Stanford since after my 3.5 GPA in high school, Stanford would never consider me even if I made a 4 GPA with an awesome resume to boot).</p>

<p>I know I tend to panic a lot when things don't go exactly as planned, but this news cuts the amount of time I have at my community college to establish a good reputation (seven to five and that makes things much harder to spread) and I won't have time to ask for help in regards to this until Monday (since I have to work in the afternoon after school and what time I have between work and class I have to spend making up a quiz).</p>

<p>I wish I had competent math skills now...</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Will check back tonight.</p>

<p>Contact the Transfer Advisor at Midland, and discuss this issue with that person. The Transfer Advisor will be able to help you plan the best course of studies so that you are able to attend the university you want with the major you want. I am sure that you aren’t the first person to attend Midland before transferring into your major at UT.</p>

<p>I think I’ll get better results if I went to talk with the math/science dean with this and see what I need to do. I hope that this doesn’t mean I have to transfer to UTPB (University of Texas at Permian Basis) before I transfer to UT Austin (or wherever I’m going) since that means I would have only four semesters to get up to Calculus 2 instead of five (since transferring typically takes a semester to do).</p>
