HOWDY! Prospective Student, At this time, the PETE Major receives a much larger number of applicants for change of

curriculum and transfer admissions than available space. A competitive ranking and selection process is used. The information in this document is intended to let transfer applicants know what is expected in terms of completed coursework, and other relevant information for transfer applicants.

1. You must meet all application requirements and deadlines as posted at admissions.tamu.edu/transfer/apply (see Transfer or International Transfer).

2. See the Transfer Admission section of the TAMU catalog (see catalogs.tamu.edu, General Information, Admission, Transfer Admission) or Office of Admissions (admissions.tamu.edu/transfer/majors, Dwight Look College of Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Transfer Course Sheet 2015-2016, 2016- 2017)

Note required coursework for admissions section, successful applicants have completed all of the coursework, and have very good grades.

3. Texas Community Colleges use the TCCNS numbering system. See Office of Admissions (Transfer, *Transfer Course Equivalency) for transfer equivalency course numbers to determine what credit you will receive at Texas A&M University.

4. For courses not in Transfer Course Equivalency, transfer by title is possible, but it is important to note the following department policy. Transfer by title requests will not be approved for 300-400 level TAMU courses, except when taken at an institution that includes these courses in the curriculum of an ABET accredited engineering program.

Note the Sophomore Year of the Curriculum in Petroleum Engineering (see the TAMU Catalog).

If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment please contact us, we look forward to working with you.

or 205 Courses listed above must be completed with a grade of ‘C’ or better. It is recommended applicants complete a calculus sequence to fulfill the MATH 151, 152 and 251 degree requirement. For example the TCCNS sequence of three 4-hour courses (MATH 2413, 2414, 2415), or for example the TCCNS sequence of four 3-hour courses (MATH 2313, 2314, 2315, 2316). It is intended that applicants should finish their calculus sequence, and not intended that applicants should mix courses between two different calculus sequences.

Additional Transfer Requirements

• GPA level of successful applicants in recent cycles has been in the 3.5 range or higher with a minimum of 24 transferrable hours.

• Second-choice majors are not considered.

Additional Information

• Essays are reviewed in borderline cases. The department looks for an expressed interest in the major, and/or some indication that the student has experience in the field of Petroleum Engineering, and/or some explanation of borderline performance.

• For additional information, prospective transfer students are encouraged to visit engineering.tamu.edu/apply/transfer-students

• Degree candidates will be

required to fulfill the following University Core Curriculum Requirements to graduate: American history electives, government electives, a social and behavioral science elective, and a creative arts elective. These are options for additional coursework that your institution may offer to complete.

• Applicants who would like to

have factors such as honorable military services considered must provide documentation.

• There are no course substitutions

for GEOL 104 which must be taken at Texas A&M.

Transfer Course Sheet Notes

1. ENGL 1301 is accepted for ENGL 104 if completed prior to Fall 2014. 2. Admission preference is given to applicants with the highest GPA and the most appropriate

courses completed. 3. This Transfer Course Sheet was supported in a partnership between The Office of Admissions

and the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M University with the Undergraduate Catalog having the most extant and definitive information.
