Transfer Credit Limit Policy

The EEE Academics Committee has approved the following policy concerning the use of transfer credit toward the BSEEE degree requirements.

  • A maximum of ten (10) credit hours from another university or a regional campus may be used as approved substitutes for core EEE courses. Students may not receive transfer credit for the EEE 48000 Senior Design series.
  • A maximum of nine (9) credit hours from another university or a regional campus may be used as approved substitutes for EEE Selectives.

A core course in Environmental and Ecological Engineering is defined to be any course required for graduation with a Bachelors of Science in Environmental and Ecological Engineering that has the EEE course designation. Note that this list of courses may change as curriculum modifications occur.

The current core courses in Environmental and Ecological Engineering are as follows:

  • EEE 23000
  • EEE 29001
  • EEE 30000
  • CE/EEE 35000
  • CE/EEE 35500
  • EEE 36000, 36001 or 36002 lab
  • EEE 38000
  • EEE 39000
  • EEE 43000 or 53000
  • EEE 48100

EEE students must complete eighteen (18) credits of EEE Selectives. See EEE Selectives List for further details.

Transfer courses that do not have an identified Purdue University equivalent course listed in the Transfer Credit Database will be evaluated by the following process:

Courses to be considered as approved substitutes for EEE core courses will be evaluated by an instructor of the prospective EEE course.

Courses to be considered as approved substitutes for EEE Selective courses will be evaluated by an EEE instructor if it is a prospective EEE course or the School/Department responsible for offering the prospective EEE Selective course if it is not an EEE course. The input from Schools/Departments offering non-EEE Selective courses will be reviewed by the EEE Associate Director for Advising and the Chair of the EEE Academics Committee to make a determination whether and how the transfer course should be counted as an EEE Selective. Unusual cases will be brought to the Academics Committee for discussion.
