Transfer Credits

Current ENSP students
  • Discuss with your advisor the courses you wish to take elsewhere.

  • Review Transfer Credit Equivalencies.

  • Pick up a Permission to Enroll Form from Ms. Brown (0220 Symons), Ms. Walther (0108 Symons), or from your College office; and return it, completed, to your College office.

  • A few days later, return to verify that permission has been granted.

  • After you have received your grades, ask the other campus to send an official transcript to: Transfer Credit Center, Mitchell Bldg., University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742.
Students planning to transfer to Maryland
All students begin as "Undeclared in ENSP." After 1-2 semesters of academic adjustment and exploration, you will be ready to declare a concentration. Nevertheless, it's useful to keep the following in mind:

  • Explore the areas of concentration offered by ENSP and related career opportunities. Identify the area(s) of interest to you. Also, consider the relationship between your academic skills and interests to your hobbies and previous internship/work experiences.

  • In particular, notice the MATH requirements in your planned Concentration. Most concentrations require MATH 220 (Elementary Calculus, or "Calculus with Applications") but some will require MATH 140 (Calculus I). Check UM Math Tracks to learn about Math sequences at Maryland.

  • Examine the UM Transfer Credit Equivalency database to see how courses at your school will transfer to Maryland.

Plan your academic program carefully:

  • Complete as many Math and science courses as possible -- and, when in doubt, complete more rather than fewer.

    • Students considering science-oriented concentrations should take BSCI 105 and 106; CHEM 131/132 and 231/232; and Calculus I and II. They should also consider GEOG 201/211 or GEOL 100/110.
    • Students considering social science concentrations should take BSCI 106, GEOG 201/211 and Calculus I. Note: Politics & Policy students will also complete ECON 200 and ECON 201; and Environmental Economics students will complete ECON 200, ECON 201, and Calculus II.
    • Only after planning your science and policy courses should you begin to accommodate general education courses. General education courses will be available to you at any time; by contrast, Math and science sequences must be started early to ensure an "on-time" graduation.
