Transfer Students

Ron Larsen and Max Deibert are the principal advisors for transfer students until you get on track with the MSU chemical engineering curriculum. John Sears can also advise transfer students if necessary.

1. The University evaluates general courses for MSU equivalencies.  Courses which do not have precise MSU matches are evaluated as "E" or "EU" ("U" for upper level, i.e., 300 or 400 level courses).  University transfer evaluations are performed by the Admissions Office.
