1) What should I do to transfer from an external school into the EcoE program?

You will need to formally apply to OSU and be accepted.  The registrar’s office will produce an Advanced Standing Report based on your submitted transcripts.  You will then have to meet with an EcoE advisor to determine which of your completed courses will count towards the EcoE degree.  Much information on this topic can be found on the Admissions web-page (http://oregonstate.edu/admissions/index.php).  

2) What should I do to transfer internally into the EcoE program?

File the change of major form found at http://oregonstate.edu/registrar/forms/Change%20of%20Major.pdf .  The overall process is fairly straightforward for first year engineering students.  Engineering students further along in their programs will have to take additional make-up courses.  In any event, you should talk to an EcoE advisor as soon as possible to discuss options.

3) What if I’m transferring internally to EcoE and have already taken CH 201?

You will need to take the chemistry for majors sequence – CH 221, 222, 223 for a total of 15 credits.  Alternatively, you can complete CH 202 and CH 205 in addition to CH 201 for 7 Cr..  You will then need an additional 8 Cr. of upper division chemistry to complete the required 15 Cr. of chemistry – usually CH 331 and 332, Organic Chemistry.
