RIT - The Kate Gleason College of Engineering | Undergraduate Programs

Transfer Program

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded RIT a four-year $599,972 grant from its 2008 Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Program to increase substantially the number of high technology workers and to develop high-quality professionals in selected fields. RIT is contributing $50,000 in the post-grant period in support of this program. These scholarships are in addition to the grants and scholarships already awarded by RIT. RIT will award a maximum of 25 ET2 scholarships for six quarters in the fall quarters of 2008, 2009, and 2010. For more detailed information on this program go to

RIT ET2 Program

The college admits graduates from two-year community colleges in engineering science and engineering technology. Significant numbers of transfer students join the regular undergraduate program and give RIT's engineering programs a unique academic atmosphere.

The AS graduate in engineering science with above-average scholastic achievement can usually enter one of the five BS programs as a regular third-year student. It may be necessary to adjust a few courses to accommodate program differences in the first two years. Transfer credits are granted on the basis of course-by-course evaluation.

The AAS graduate in technology who has demonstrated outstanding achievement should consider transfer to a BS program in engineering as one alternative for continuing formal education. The exact number of transfer credits for which he or she may qualify varies widely, and the student should contact the department head of his or her chosen discipline for transfer credit evaluation. Those wishing further information on our transfer program should contact the College of Engineering Office of Student Services at 585-475-7994.
