UMD College Park Letters and Sciences Program

Hey guys, so I just got into UMD CP and wanted to get information on the Letters and Sciences program at UMD.

  1. How fast will I be able to begin my Engineering degree?
  2. Does it look bad to future employers?
  3. Does it delay the amount of time I am at UMD?
  4. Can I find a way to accelerate through the program faster?

I initially applied to engineering, and I know that this is because I wasn’t good enough for engineering.

My DD was accepted as well into Letters & Sciences and the FIRE program. She applied as a bio major, what is the process of getting into the desired major?

You will be able to do an internal transfer. The following link can provide more info. Follow the “Current Student” section.

Future employers will not know or care.

You might be able to get credit for AP courses and you can possibly take Winter or Summer Term Classes.
