Admissions
Prior to being admitted to the Biocomputational Engineering major, students must complete the UMD A. James Clark School of Engineering LEP gateway courses, prerequisite math/science courses, lower-level General Education requirements (or an associate's degree), and 60 credits. Students are welcome to apply as transfer students from community college or four-year institutions. For more information regarding course equivalencies, please visit the UMD Transfer Course Database.
We are now accepting applications for Fall 2021 admission! Book a meeting with Emily Bailey, Program Coordinator, to walk through your pathway to the biocomp degree, or check out the Application Checklist to begin your application today!
Minimum Admission Requirements
All A. James Clark School of Engineering majors function as Limited Enrollment Programs, meaning prospective students must complete gateway courses prior to transfer:
- Completion of MATH141 (Calculus II) with a minimum grade of B-
- Completion of PHYS161 (Physics I) with a minimum grade of B-
- Completion of either CHEM135 or CHEM271 or CHEM134 with a minimum grade of C- (Students who take CHEM134 must also have completed CHEM131 with a grade of C-)
Gateway Course Equivalencies
Admissions to the Biocomputational Engineering program at Shady Grove is done through the University of Maryland's Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
In addition to completing the LEP gateway courses, Biocomputational Engineering prospective students must also complete prerequisite courses prior to transfer, totaling 60 credits. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 in all courses taken at the University of Maryland and all other institutions is required for internal and external transfer students.
