Transfer Students

The NanoEngineering curriculum plan for transfer students has a 2-year or 3-year option. The 2-year plan can be challenging with heavy workloads in several quarters. Be sure to follow the curriculum when enrolling in classes.

Every course required for the major (except NANO 4 and NANO 199) must be taken for a letter grade. This includes all MATH, BILD, CHEM, PHYS and NANO courses. All major requirements must have a grade of C- or higher.

All NANO core courses are taught only once per year and are scheduled to be consistent with the curriculum shown below. NANO courses must be taken in the order they are listed on the curriculum plan in order to ensure all required prerequisites are fulfilled prior to enrollment.

The courses listed here other than NANO are under the control of other departments. They may not be offered in the quarter shown here. Each student is responsible for determining the prerequisites, when the courses are to be offered, and making a schedule of taking the courses that fit into his or her own graduation plan.

Tentative NANO and CENG course offerings for 2024-2025 can be found here. To view the current and past catalog information, please click here.
