Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The pathway below is designed to facilitate transfer to the University of Houston for students planning to complete a Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering. There are multiple Engineering programs at the University of Houston, but the freshmen and sophmore requirements are almost the same for all. Minor differences are accounted for in the map below.

Work with your ACE it coach or a counselor/advisor early in your pathway to customize this plan.
Consult a transfer advisor at the University of Houston.
Visit the UH Catalog to ensure transfer requirements are met.

Pathway Notes:

While an Associate of Science degree at Brazosport College requires 60 credit hours, the following pathway includes 61 credit hours, applicable to the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at UH.
The math requirements in this pathway begins with MATH 2413 Calculus I , which is the first mathematics course applicable to this degree. Some students may be required to take a prerequisite course(s) prior to enrollment.

Foundations

Foundations courses provide the footing for the remainder of the Associates Degree and beyond. They provide the knowledge and skills upon which other courses will build. Whether attending full or part time, plan to complete most if not all of Foundations prior to taking courses under Knowledge Building or Preparing for Completion.
