VISIT US VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON
Schedule a virtual consultation to meet with us! We are happy to review your current transcripts, discuss suggested courses, and share additional information regarding the degree program you are interested in pursuing. If none of the times on the calendar work for your schedule, please call us at 816-235-2399 to find another time.
Visit SCE and tour the new Plaster Center at an SCE Only Tour. We will explore the ARVR Showroom, the 3D Printing Lab, Flight Simulator, and much more. These tours are for current high school students and college students interested in transferring to SCE (and families of these students!). *Please note: consultations on how courses will transfer and what courses to take should be scheduled separately from the tour.
ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
Transferring from one university to another can be complicated, but we’re here to help!
Transfer students must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA (including all course attempts) and at least a 2.5 GPA (including all course attempts) in Math, Science, Engineering and/or Computer Science courses. All applications are individually reviewed by the School of Computing & Engineering and exceptions are made on a case by case basis.
English Proficiency Test scores (such as TOEFL or IELTS) are required for international students without prior U.S. degrees. Students who have spent at least two years at U.S. institution or are from English speaking countries may have the test requirement waived.
| Degree Program | Suggested Courses* |
