All students apply to UMBC through the Undergraduate Admissions office. At the time of application students may designate any major. All students in Engineering and Computer Science are accepted as Pre-Major; Pre-Chemical Engineering, Pre-Computer Engineering, Pre-Computer Science, Pre-Mechanical Engineering, or Pre-Engineering for undecided Engineering. Freshmen may pursue any of our Pre-Majors without additional review. Transfer students’ transcripts will be evaluated to determine eligibility for the Pre-Major. See Transfer Information for additional resources and information.

Undergraduate Student Services

Undergraduate Student Services, an office of the College of Engineering and Information Technology, provides a range of services to assist undergraduate COEIT students with issues related to university policy, course selection, and academic concerns.
