Transfer students who apply for admission to UMBC and select Computer Science as their intended major will have their transcripts reviewed by the College of Engineering and Information Technology (COEIT) to determine eligibility for the major.
Most transfer students are initially admitted as Pre-Computer Science and move to the full major after completing the required gateway courses and meeting all university and college academic policies. Students who have not yet completed the gateway requirements may do so during their first semesters at UMBC. Students who are accepted into the University having already met the Gateway requirements for Computer Science major will remain a Pre-Major until all transcripts with final grades have been received, posted by the Registrar’s Office, and processed by COEIT. Students who do not meet eligibility requirements for the major will not be able to pursue Computer Science at UMBC.
