STEM/Engineering Dual Enrollment Pathway

This a draft schedule of the pathway so it is subject to change.

• Dual Enrollment Eligibility:2.75 UWGPA for General Studies (ENG, SOC, COM) 3.0 UWGPA and B or higher in Alg. 2 for Math/Engineering All AP exams require minimum score of 3 to earn transfer credit.
• Dual in-school math classes (MTH-1150, MTH-1200, MTH-1210, and MTH-2200) are reserved for students who are registered CSM students to provide maximum transferability to 4-year schools.
• MTH-1200, MTH-1210, MTH-2200, EGR 1100, EGR 1210, and CSC 2020 will be taught by CSM faculty. 
• MTH-1150, ENG-1010, and ENG-1020 will be offered as full-year dual in-school courses taught by HS faculty with support from CSM. 
• SOC-2010 and COM-1010 are web-based courses. Students can complete coursework during the day in a supervised classroom setting or on their own. 

Students who complete all courses outlined below may continue at CSM to the complete the Pre-engineering Certificate by completing just a few more courses: CHE-1050/L-Introduction to Chemistry with Lab or CHE-1350 General Chemistry for Engineers, or an Arts credit from our General Education listing. Additionally, CSM will accept AP Physics C passing scores for PHY-1310 Calculus-Based Physics I and PHY-2300 Calculus-Based Physics II.

Students who would like to pursue as associate's degree in Engineering at CSM and complete all courses in the Engineering Pathway are more than half-way there with the following courses remaining: PHY-2320 Calculus-Based Physics III, MTH-2210 Differential Equations, electives related to the degree such as EGR-2200 Mechanics of Materials, EGR-2210 Dynamics, as well as general studies requirements.

A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. The College of Southern Maryland shares a partnership that offers a pathway to a bachelor’s degree in mechanical or electrical engineering. Upon completing the engineering curriculum at CSM, students may transfer to UMD with junior status to earn a BS degree.  Click here to learn about transferring to the A. James Clark School of Engineering and the admission requirements needed for the Limited Enrollment Program.
