Transfer Course Requirements

Competitive applicants will have course requirements by major complete by the course requirement deadline. Review the chart below for additional course requirements by major. Please note: The Architecture major is only available to applicants applying for the fall term.

  • All course requirements by major must be transferable with a minimum C grade or better. GT’s transfer equivalency table and GT catalog are your two best sources of information on previously evaluated coursework.

  • Transfer pathway applicants should review the specific GPA requirements on their transfer pathway page.

  • After reviewing the recommended resources, choose the best available coursework at your current institution to meet transfer application requirements. An official transfer credit evaluation is only available after a student receives an offer of admission from Georgia Tech.

  • The Georgia Tech catalog is the best resource for degree requirements and course descriptions for each academic major. We also recommend students review our transfer credit page to learn more about Tech’s transfer equivalency table.

Requirements by Major

ALL MAJORS require transfer credit equivalent to English Composition 1101, English Composition 1102, and Calculus 1 (MATH 1551).

* Lab Science Elective options include biology, chemistry, calculus-based physics, earth & atmospheric sciences, and environmental sciences. All lab science courses must include lecture and lab components. Each box ("Required Course”) represents a lecture and lab combination. Some majors require a two-course lab science sequence (e.g. PHYS I & PHYS 2).

1. Architecture and Arts, Entertainment, & Creative Technologies Applicants are required to upload a portfolio of work as part of the transfer application.

2. Music Technology Applicants are required to submit 2–4 samples of work by providing a URL link on the application.
